Coracle Craft: A Boat Building Workshop - Spring Session begins
Ages: 9-14
$150 / $135 members
The coracle is a lightweight, shallow-draft fishing boat that floats on the water like a cork. Join us this spring for an outdoor adventure as we use the materials at hand and traditional construction methods (the coracle dates back thousands of years) to make our own coracle: weaving a willow frame, skinning the boat with canvas, and carving a paddle. Friends and family are invited on the final Saturday to watch as we test the coracle’s seaworthiness in a voyage across the small pond.
This is a collaborative workshop, with all participants working together to build a single coracle, and will be limited to five participants. The coracle will remain on view at Lynden during the summer. Much of the work will be done outside (weather permitting).
