**Class canceled due to low enrollment per Mike M. 1/7/20. Registrant has been notified. SK**

was an 11-session class.

Please note: The registration deadline for this class is Jan. 7, 2020.

Learn to make a 16-foot, strip-built cedar kayak from start to its fiberglass finish with guidance from Joe Greenley, designer of the beautiful boats sold by Redfish Custom Kayak and Canoe Co. in Port Townsend.

There is no materials fee because the boat will be sold when it is complete. There may also be space for a limited number of students to build kayaks to take home, but these students must purchase the necessary materials. A kit for the Spring Run model, the class project, costs $1,695.

The class is ideal for beginning woodworkers, as well as more seasoned woodworkers who want to enhance their skills in hand tools and experience the camaraderie of working on wooden boats as a team. With minimum power tool use, students will focus on using planes, spoke shaves and various measuring tools to achieve a high degree of craftsmanship.

The class will provide a strong base for anyone who wants to build a kayak on their own or with friends or family.

Details:

• Ages 14+ are welcome.

• Students will be encouraged to work on the boat between sessions, during Open Studio time. To participate in that, you must first complete our free, one-hour Orientation to the Woodshop class. Open Studio time is always free for members. Non-members who are working on a class project can also participate without an additional fee.

• If you have questions about the class, please email boatbuilding@bainbridgebarn.org. Please definitely email if you want to build your own boat.
