Tweet Tweet! Check out Our Wood Safety Whistle Workshop in Skid Row!
Last weekend Would Works joined the Los Angeles Poverty Department's 13th annual Festival for All Skid Row Artists with a pop-up wood safety whistle making workshop.
Participants learned how to make angled cuts with a dovetail saw, drill holes, sand and shape plugs and assemble this fun little instrument that can be used to call for help or just play a ditty.
It was a great way to celebrate the thriving creative community in Skid Row, and all the other inspiring arts organizations therein. Thanks to LAPD for hosting this event and having us along!

Nick Offerman Partners with Would Works to Empower At-Risk Angelenos Through Woodworking
Nick Offerman has partnered with Would Works, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that teaches woodworking skills to at-risk Angelenos. These skills can lead to careers in industries like construction, set-building, and carpentry.
Beyond woodworking, Offerman highlights the “incredibly benevolent and warm humanism” at the heart of Would Works. "We're giving people … mental health, counseling, job counseling, life coaching. It's a place to say, 'Come on in, I see you, I care about you, I recognize the trouble you might be having. Here's a sandwich, here's a bowl of soup. Now, this is a hand plane,'" Offerman said.
