Students will learn traditional bird carving techniques and complete their ten-week course having created a working decoy.  We are also offering a Decoy Feather Painting Workshop on Mondays.

    These workshops will be led by Master Woodcarver, painter, and decoy maker, Paul Phillips, who has over 30 years of experience and has been demonstrating his craft at the Harwich Historical Society since the Crowell Barn Museum first opened to visitors. Through these carving and painting classes, the Society is dedicated to preserving this traditional folk art within the local community.

    Students will be provided with introductory tools, wood, and additional supplies.
