Homeboat Workshop
One half design/build, one half community outreach, one half art, one half exploring the creative potential of the rural post-industrial condition we have the Homeboat workshop at WAS. Special creative collaborators from Homeboat include, Jack Forinash, Spence Knoll, Corbin LaMont and Mary Welcome.
Reclaiming the Commons - Public Event
Saturday March 24th 3-5pm Workshop with informal gathering to follow. Join us for all or part of the event/open house. Enter WAS at the EAST end of the Holliwell Covered Bridge. The gates will be open 15 yards from the bridge. More information at [email protected]
The Westbrook Artists’ Site (WAS) is sponsoring a spring workshop with special collaborators, Jack Forinash, Corbin LaMont, Spence Kroll, and Mary Welcome. We will be sharing work done with the Homeboat team on barn rehab, local materials, sustainable forestry on the trails and getting ready for summer at WAS. We will share how these experiences could shape values and ethical choices regarding our stewardship of the land. We are committed to multiple ways of knowing the world through synthesizing knowledge from creative work, shared interest in the land and further acts of discovery.

The Logosol Big Mill Chainsaw mill with home jig ready to roll. The Stihl 391 saw did not match the ripping chain (.058 instead of .050 gauge didn't match the bar) then the cylinder locked up and we will return with a new saw to get back to the job. We are excited to text out the mill on this fallen White oak.
