Artisan Program
“It makes me happy that this small school intends to
return to the traditional. To
the values and no gadgets methods which have nourished our craft for a
very long time. Dedication, a simple logic in what we do and how we do
it. For some, there is a lure; mysteriously elusive wood, tools that
follow one's intention, an awareness that our craft is an intimately
timeless education. If you feel even a bit of this… persevere. Enjoy. The journey
may change your life.”
James Krenov 2005
The Artisan Program covers many of the topics covered in
our Craftsman Program. We have done our best to include the topics most
relevant to students who are unable to commit to a program lasting several
months. Each of the programs are available to students of all levels of
woodworking experience who want to develop and or refine their skills. Includes the following programs.
Resident Artisan Program
“We know that different people see in different ways. But in the realm of wood and ones work, how does one learn to see? More precisely, in making furniture, how can one predict the outcome, how can one be sure his intentions will be realized in the finished piece?”
James Krenov 1977
The Resident Artisan Program provides the student an opportunity to become intimately involved in the planning of his or her own craft education. The program offers graduates of our Artisan Program the opportunity to complete a piece under the direction of Inside Passage School of Fine Woodworking Program Faculty. Space is limited and based on availability. For more information contact the school and arrange for an initial consultation with our Program Director.
