Apprenticeship

The Apprentice Program

This 2-year apprenticeship program is the core of what we offer here at the Apprenticeshop. It is an intensive experience designed to teach most aspects of traditional wooden boatbuilding and seamanship. What sets us apart from other boatbuilding schools is our commitment to teaching apprentices how to both build and sail traditional boats.

Workshops

Want to learn a new skill in a week or develop an appreciation for a new craft over the course of a weekend? The Apprenticeshop has a range of workshops we offer yearly. Workshops include oar and half hull model making, bronze casting, metal brazing, and marlinspike seamanship. You can even come spend a week and build a toboggan with us in the winter!
