Arts Programs
Photography, documentary arts, and digital heritage interpretation allow learners to engage creatively with historic spaces. Through image-making, participants study light, texture, material behavior, and architectural form—developing skills that deepen understanding and produce meaningful visual archives.
Heritage Trade Programs
Window restoration, historic carpentry, masonry, timber framing techniques, and lime-based materials connect participants directly to traditional craftsmanship. Hands-on instruction teaches how historic materials age, why failures occur, and how careful intervention preserves cultural memory.
Preserving History through Hands and Lens
Preservation Labs blends visual arts and heritage craft into a single, immersive practice. Our photography and documentary arts workshops reveal the textures, stories, and quiet patterns of historic structures, while our hands-on trades programs teach the techniques that shaped them. Together, these disciplines invite participants to see historic places with new clarity—through both the lens and the hand—and to take part in preserving the beauty and meaning of our built past.
