How the night works

A social movie-night building class; music and a movie play while you work. Your tabletop is pre-stained in your chosen base color and laser-engraved with your chosen design before class.

In class you:

1) Spray-paint your engraved design any color you want

2) Peel the masking tape for the reveal

3) Seal the top

4) Paint and seal the pedestal base (one center post, four feet)

5) Assemble your table and take it home the same night

Tickets

Small 18-inch round: $150

Large 24-inch round: $180

All materials included

Book by Wednesday, November 25, 2026 — every top is engraved to order ahead of class.
