Brush up on brightwork at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum

On Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum will be hosting a two-day Brightwork Workshop in its boatshop. The program takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on both days, with participation limited and advanced registration needed.

Program participants will join CBMM Boatyard Program Manager Jenn Kuhn to learn more about the art of finishing on a boat. Participants will get first-hand experience learning how to properly prepare surfaces, addressing any problem areas, and applying varnish or paint to the surfaces, with practice on CBMM’s small craft vessels.

The cost of the workshop is $45 for CBMM members and $55 for non-members, with registration made by contacting Allison Speight at [email protected] or 410-745-4941.
