Chad and Austin have been hard at work prepping the Timber Frame Teaching Pavilion for the upcoming classes-- we are building out workbenches and a loft area over the teaching space.
Now that our spring session of the 4 month hands-on carpentry program has begun Chad has been busy teaching the basics of tools 2 days a week, and the class will begin working on projects with his guidance when they are here.
If you're interested in our classes but would like a chance to dip your toe in before committing to a workshop, our upcoming work party weekend April 13-14th would be a great opportunity for you to check things out! You can come for one or both days, camp overnight if you like, and there will be a tour and learning as well as food and of course a bunch of working on projects at the campus with guidance and teamwork in groups.
🕙 Timing
Saturday: 10:30 start, lunch around 1:30 or 2pm, supper at 7pm, fire and hanging out until whenever (instruments and songs welcome!)
Sunday: 8:30 breakfast, lunch around 12:30pm, finish up around 4:30
If there is need, we plan to have childcare!
