SUMMARY:Timber Framing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Register for Timber Framing Workshop \nTimber Framing Workshop at The Wolf Ridge Farm\nTimber framing is the craft of joining wooden posts and beams together without the use of nails or metal fasteners. Timber frames are simple\, strong\, and elegant\, and have stood for centuries around the world. In this course\, students will learn the fundamentals of timber framing\, from the use of hand and power tools\, to the layout and cutting of mortise and tenon joinery. On the final day of the course\, students will work together to raise the completed frame\, and will go home with the knowledge and skills to continue their timber framing practice and build structures of their own.   \nStudents will be housed on site at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center in dormitory-style accommodations with meals provided at the on-site dining hall. \nThe structure being built during this course will serve as a covered tool and equipment space for Wolf Ridge Farm. Wolf Ridge Farm grows 10\,000 pounds of produce seasonally\, which is utilized in the Wolf Ridge dining hall and distributed to the surrounding community through farmers market\, food shelf and farm-to-school programming. \nCourse instructor Jenna Pollard has taught timber frame courses in Minnesota\, Washington\, Missouri\, New Hampshire\, Vermont and Arizona\, and has been timber framing since 2010. She has built over a dozen timber frames\, from her own small cabin to large pavilions for community gatherings. She is excited to be teaching this workshop to share timber framing with others\, and to build a structure that will support Wolf Ridge Farm. \n$750 Tuition & Lunches only \n\n\n$1260 Tuition\, Lodging & Meals \nRegister for Timber Framing Workshop \n\n
