About This Workshop
Step into the world of sculptural timber framing with this immersive, hands-on workshop designed to blend artistry with functionality. Over the course of five days, students will collaborate to create a stunning timber-framed passageway that will span the length of the MASW sidewalk, connecting the post beam gazebos that were previously crafted. This project isn’t just about construction; it’s about crafting a structural piece of art that enhances and transforms the outdoor space. Participants will learn the basic essentials of timber framing, including how to layout, and construct a passageway that balances structural integrity with aesthetic appeal. Through a combination of practical instruction and hands-on experience, students will discover how to bring their creative visions to life using time-honored carpentry techniques. By the end of the course, participants will walk away with the skills and confidence to design and build their own sculptural timber structures.
