When he set up his foundation, Sam Maloof envisioned an enduring arts center, with a museum and educational workshops to teach woodworking.
Now, the Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts & Crafts has begun fulfilling this dream by offering woodworking courses at the historic Maloof compound in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

One barn is a fully-equipped machine shop, while the second barn contains workbenches for hand tool work, sanding, and assembly.
