Timber Framing- September 2026
Price range: $925.00 through $1,025.00Spend five unforgettable days learning the art of traditional timber framing – while building a woodshed of small cabin alongside a group of like-minded learners. This is a hands-on, team-based experience where you'll learn the skills to take on your own timber frame project with confidence. Using the square rule method – a traditional method developed in the early 1800s – you'll be guided through each step of cutting, fitting, and assembling a timber frame structure, from mortise and tenon joinery to raising the finished frame. This is a group class, designed to create a collaborative learning environment while still giving you plenty of direct guidance from the instructor, Nick, a seasoned timber framer and builder. Expect demos, instructing, and lots of hands-on time with tools. This course focuses on traditional timber framing techniques using only hand tools and human power. Whether you're dreaming of a backyard shed, tiny cabin, or just want to understand how old-school builders worked with big timbers and simple tools – this course gives you a solid foundation. No previous timber framing experience is required. This course is beginner friendly, but also valuable for folks with some carpentry experience.

Weaving with Words- August 2026
Price range: $475.00 through $575.00Inlay is a traditional weaving technique that has existed for centuries in many cultures. Most weavers are familiar with the basic premise of using inlay to create patterns in cloth. The approach provided in this class will expand upon this tradition by using words as the basis for the patterns that are laid-in to the cloth. As a result, the boundaries of the craft can be expanded to allow weavers to incorporate elements from calligraphy, book arts, poetry, printing, folklore, and storytelling. With the goal to inspire weavers to expand their repertoire of decorative approaches, this class will provide step-by-step instruction in the techniques for using inlay to weave letters and words in cloth.
