About The Event
The Hudson River Maritime Museum is thrilled to be hosting the Celebration of Woodworking on October 1st and 2nd, 2022! This event will include artisans and craftspeople sharing their woodworking skills with the public, youth activities, wood and tool vendors, build-your-own demonstrations, the Kingston Boat Building Challenge and more! We are hosting this event in collaboration with the Mid-Hudson Woodworkers and the Hudson Valley Furniture Makers.
This event is on Saturday and Sunday, October 1st and 2nd, from 10am to 5pm on both days. Admission to the Celebration of Woodworking is free to the public, and includes reduced admission to our museum.
A truly unique and amazing demonstration will be provided by Master Birch Bark Canoe Builder, Ken Weeks. Over the course of the festival, he will use indigenous techniques to build a birch bark canoe on site. His workshops will present on indigenous practices such as harvesting and processing different parts of the tree into usable materials for boat building, to make pine pitch, lashing, and birch bark skins.
The centerpiece of the Celebration of Woodworking will be the debut of the Kingston Boat Builders Challenge! Six teams of builders - composed of community members and teams sponsored by local businesses - will compete to build an 8’ rowing skiff. Upon completion, teams will race their skiffs across the Rondout Creek! Proceeds from the Boat Builders Challenge will benefit the Hudson River Maritime Museum’s Sailing School YouthBoat program.
We are sincerely grateful for the support of our community and business partners! Your contribution ensures the Hudson River Maritime Museum can continue in our work of preserving and teaching new generations the history, culture and economic industries of the Hudson River. For questions, please contact Marketing & Membership Manager Jamie Dea at [email protected].
