Free Window Rehabilitation Preservation Trades Training
March 26, 2015 |
In an intensive four day workshop, students will learn the fundamentals of repair and rehabilitation of traditional wood windows. This workshop seeks to expand the skills of workers with existing knowledge rather than introduce individuals with no previous
trade experience. Trainees will work with traditional building materials under the guidance of trained preservation craftspeople. The training will be conducted in partnership with the Stuart Area Restoration Association, City of Kalamazoo, and the Old House Network.
Prospective Trainees need to:
1. have an interest in pursuing historic preservation work as a vocation or avocation.
2. possess appropriate fine motor skill abilities and physical strength to successfully complete the work of the class.
3. agree to follow all safety instructions, and use all available safety and personal protection clothing and equipment as instructed.
4. sign a release of liability form and a model release - photos and video from the training may be used to promote preservation trades training both within Michigan and elsewhere.
5. commit to the full four day workshop and be on-site by 8:00 am each day.
6. be at least 18 years old.
The workshop will provide:
1. All necessary tools ? trainees may bring their own tools but they should be clearly marked.
2. Breakfast and lunch each day.
