The Model Guild of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) in St. Michaels, MD will host a weekend model-building workshop from 6 to 9pm Friday, February 25 and 9 to 5pm Saturday and Sunday, February 26 and 27.
Led step-by-step by skilled volunteer modelers, participants will create a 10-inch Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff built from two-toned flat stock over a frame. The models will be built in much the same manner as the real boats are constructed.
CBMM’s Model Guild welcomes anyone 12 years of age or older to take these classes, and encourages new members of all skill levels to participate in the Guild, use its facilities, and trade model building experience with Museum visitors. Classes can accommodate six students. A special rate for a parent-child team can accommodate younger children.
The cost for the February 25-27 workshop is $80 for CBMM members and $90 for non-members. All tools and materials are supplied. Pre-registration is required by Monday, February 21. Call 410-745-2916 to register for the class or 410-745-3266 for more information.
