Monthly Meetings

Andrea Ramsay, Woodworker

October 14, 2023, 10:30 a.m.

Andrea Ramsay was raised in Northern California, hiking and exploring the Sierra’s.

She earned a degree in Anthropology from the University of Washington and worked in technology until 2014 when she traded in her laptop for a chisel.

She attended The Port Townsend School of Woodworking and completed the Woodworking Intensive Program in spring 2015.

After returning to Seattle she set up her own workshop and began building custom woodwork while working at Pratt Fine Arts Center. 

In 2016 she joined the John Grade Studio and helped build and install MiddleFork, now at Seattle Art Museum. She now manages The Grade Studio and leads the team through conception, fabrication and installation of large scale sculptural pieces around the world.

At this point in time, meetings will be virtual until further notice (with any exceptions listed in the table below). The CQA board will evaluate the situation as it evolves and adjust if necessary.

Visitors are always welcome at our meetings, and there is no admission fee. Meetings run from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month, on the Seattle Pacific University campus. (See directions, maps, and room information, below.) Bring yourself a sack lunch if you wish.
