Following the raging success of the 2022 Maritime Trail workshop program, we are bringing the gift of DIY craftmanship to the 2023 Australian Wooden Boat Festival!
In conjunction with the Blundstone Shipwright's Village, we are offering a mix of multiple-day, full day and short workshops at the Blundstone Noisy Boatyard, before and during the festival long weekend. Participants have the opportunity to work closely with skilled craftspeople, using specialist hand tools and will produce unique maritime objects. Visitors to the boatyard will be able to enjoy the view as dreams are realised and projects come to life!
*Please note, the workshop ''Japanese Riverboat Build with Douglas Brooks'' is being held prior to the festival and will be located at the Wooden Boat Centre in Franklin. The finished boat will be showcased at the Blundstone Noisy Boatyard.
