An Apprentice Boat Builder in Japan.
In Japan, traditional arts and crafts are fast disappearing as modernization has broken down the traditional apprenticeship system. Since 1996, writer, researcher, and Vergennes resident Douglas Brooks has apprenticed with seven boat builders in Japan, building over a dozen types of Japanese wooden boats. In this talk, Douglas will share his experiences with these traditional crafts. For more information on Douglas' work, look at his website: douglasbrooksboatbuilder.com. Please join us on April 14th. Free. Refreshments. Accessible to all. Contact: Silas at 425-3380 for more info.
