Two-Day Session | Saturday & Sunday | June 24 & 25 | 9 am – 4 pm

Unlock a lifetime exploring the quiet, waking river backwaters or northwoods lakes by learning to make your own canoe paddle. This two-day canoe paddle making workshop is open to people of all abilities ages 14+. This Studio Arts Workshop from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum is presented in partnership with Waking Worlds Exhibition Hospitality Partner Sanborn Canoe Company in their Winona-based shop. This hands-on workshop will teach you the skills to make your own paddle – from wood selection and wood grain considerations, to paddle sizing and the theory of shape as applied to handles, shafts and blades, to finishing and surface decoration. Register here. This workshop will be offered again on October 14-15. Learn more.
