The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) in St. Michaels, MD is offering two, three-day trailboard carving workshops June 22-24 and July 20-22 with craftsman John T. Garlick.

Garlick will teach participants the techniques and artistry of Chesapeake trailboard carving while helping students develop the concepts and skills needed to make their own unvarnished signboard.
