Historic Wood Window Preservation Workshop
March 26-27, 2022 |
The Preservation Alliance of West Virginia is offering a Historic Wood Window Preservation Workshop in partnership with Pricketts Fort State Park. The cost to attend this workshop is $30. Lunch will be provided.
About the Workshop:
The first day begins with a series of presentations outlining the work that will be done, safe work practices, tools that will be used, etc. The morning session gives participants an overview of the entire process of window restoration and gives them a chance to see parts of the process that may not be available during the hands-on portion of the workshop. The second half of the day begins the hand-on portion of the workshop and includes a series of demonstrations of the processes involves and allows the participants to ask questions and familiarize themselves with the tools and techniques used to restore most historic windows and doors.
The second day allows the participants 7.5 hours to spend time practicing the skills and techniques presented in the demonstrations on the previous day. If windows from the host site are being used in the workshop, the second day allows for time to be spent working on these windows and gives the participants and owners specialized experience with the project in question. Each student will have ample time at each station to practice the different processes, and can receive instructor feedback and ask questions.
