Your instructor will determine which equipment is suitable for use during a class and some equipment may not be available in all sessions. The student is responsible for any damaged and/ or lost items and will be required to pay for the cost of repair and/or replacement of the damaged/ lost equipment.

STUDIO & MATERIALS FEES: Peters Valley sets estimated fees according to supplies your instructor has requested. In a small number of cases, where the price of steel or other supplies has inflated, students will be made aware of a slightly higher fee when they are sent their materials list for the workshop. In the production of their own work, students will be charged for additional materials.

STUDIO SUPPLIES: Students are welcome to bring favorite personal hand tools for use in the studio. If you are not sure, please contact the studio.
In addition to supplies specifically requested by an instructor for the class, the Peters Valley Woodworking Studio generally stocks a variety of wood, finishing supplies and glues.

As is the case in any teaching shop, condition of edged tools varies. Students are responsible for tuning and sharpening the tools they use and are welcome to bring to classes any favorite hand tools.

HAZARDOUS WASTE INFO: The school maintains a comprehensive hazardous waste program and asks that you limit the materials you bring on campus to those classified as non-toxic. The material must be in its original packaging. An environmental fee will be assessed for classes generating hazardous waste. In order to limit the hazardous waste generated in the studios, we cannot allow students to bring toxic materials outside of the class supply list into studios. If your class requires hazardous materials, they will need to be disposed of properly. A Hazardous Waste Disposal Fee will be charged in addition to the Studio & Materials Fee.
