This workshop is co-sponsored by the Menokin Foundation and Rappahannock Community College (RCC), and is geared to architects, craftspeople, contractors, historic site administrators and the public-at-large. The course will provide an intensive overview of 18th century building techniques, and the conservation of historic masonry and wood elements, using Menokin, now in partial ruin, as a teaching laboratory. A session on making and applying 18th century wall and trim paints will be offered for the first time as well. Professional continuing education credits are offered through RCC. For more information, contact The Menokin Foundation at: 804-333-1776; menokin@menokin.org.
Read what students had to say about past Menokin workshops:
There was something for all ability levels. I have been involved in preservation for almost 20 years and still found it interesting. There was refresher information and new information as well as new perspective of looking at things.
An engaging mix of presentations from experts in the field, with demonstrations and hands-on experience!
What I liked most about the workshop was the quality of instructors-great amount of professional knowledge & experience. Hands-on experience (knowledge) that I can’t get anywhere else. Tours were great!
It was real. The teachers got their hands dirty.
