First Workshops A SuccessFor the first time, 2006 saw the implementation of a series of hands-on preservation workshops, organized by the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia. Held in several different communities around the state, these two-day programs afforded participants the opportunity to learn different preservation skills and trades by actually doing them. With the help of different specialists in each trade, workshop-goers tried their hands at such skills as masonry repair and re-pointing, restoration of wooden sash windows, and interior plaster work. On September 22 and 23, 2006 in Beverly, Randolph County, there was a workshop on interior woodwork restoration. Check back for future preservation offerings. |
