Wood Windows/Millwork Workshop

Historically, the luxury of glass windows depended on easy-to-ship small panes of glass and craftsmen to frame each pane with accurately cut pieces of wood. Today, many architects and designers still depend on craftsmen using the same skills to produce wood windows. The reasons are more than aesthetic, wood windows have a host of advantages over other materials, a topic for workshop discussion.

The course is hands-on for the traditional building skills of wood window fabrication and tradition millwork. It includes the history of wood windows, restoration and preservation techniques. Each participant will construct a four-paned wood window and work on a millwork project.
