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!

Would Works Celebrates 10 Years!
We enjoyed hosting our community of Board members, volunteers, case workers, past and present Artisans, customers, vendors, supporters and friends for the Sawdust Soiree--a celebration of 10 years of Would Works. We hope this is the first of many in-person public events we will host in our new, light-filled workshop space in LA's bustling garment district.
