Preservation Trades Network is hosting multiple Pre-conference workshops this year, leading up to the 25th annual International Preservation Trades Workshop. PTN has partnered with a variety of talented trades people and organizations to provide unique, hands-on experiences in the traditional trades at some of Eastern Maryland's most iconic historic sites:

Pre-Conference Workshops have limited class size so register soon! Most pre-conference workshops are two-days, 9:00 AM-4:00 PM and lunch is included with the cost of registration. You do not have to attend the IPTW in order to register for a pre-conference workshop but PTN would love to see you at both. For more information please visit https://ptn.org/preconference-workshops
