Soft sunlight filters through the stained-glass windows of the former church that is now home to Saint Maud’s.
The space has been converted into a woodworking shop.
At the workbenches, each of the Pietrocatelli children are working on their own projects.
Brooke, 11, and Griffin, 8, are building shelves.
Harper, 10, is drawing sketches of the pencil sharper and ruler she made.
And Riley, 5, is using an antique woodworking tool to create a dowel out of a block of wood.
“This tool is from the late-1800s and it’s still working great,” said Saint Maud’s founder and instructor Karl Zinsmaster. He holds it in place and gives instructions as Riley gets up on a platform so she can reach the crank.
