Our workshops treat traditional preservation crafts as heritage arts practiced through hands-on making, interpretation, and material exploration. Each program provides an immersive environment where adults develop creative confidence, refine manual skills, and engage with historic techniques at their own pace.

No experience is required — only curiosity, patience, and a willingness to learn.
