This workshop introduces participants to the basics of using the joiner, planer, and router. Participants will learn how to safely and effectively turn uneven, rough-sawn boards into flat, square, and consistently sized stock ready for woodworking projects.
This session is open to Maker Space members only.
Meet your instructor: MARANDA LUJAJOHNSON
Maranda is a multidisciplinary artist and maker with a background in ceramics, drawing, and graphic design. She earned her degrees from Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI and has since worked across mediums — from painting and sculpture to custom furniture design.
Maranda co-founded a design & fabrication business she runs with her brother and partner, a sustainable festival accessories company, and she converted a box truck into a tiny home, sparking her passion for custom builds.
Locally in Muncie, she serves as the Maker Space Coordinator at MadJax, where she leads the Villager Series — a weekly program rooted in the idea that it takes a village to bring community ideas to life. When she’s not making, she’s usually learning something new or helping others discover what’s possible with their own hands — though she’s just as happy tending a campfire, wandering the woods, or dreaming up ideas with friends.
