Wooden Boat Festival

The Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival is held annually on the second weekend in September. Come show off your hand plane skills or let this be your first time trying. Staff and faculty will be present to talk about current projects, courses, and the school’s mission.

Woodworkers Show

Master woodworkers from around the region display their art and craft at the American Legion Hall in downtown Port Townsend during the Annual Woodworkers Show, brought to you by Port Townsend School of Woodworking & The Splinter Group. This event typically runs the first weekend of November. Do you live on the Olympic Peninsula and want to show your work? Contact The Splinter Group.

Alumni Weekend

Join us for our second annual Alumni Weekend. All PTSW students and guests are welcome. This year we're keeping it simple with an afternoon hang at the 315 workshop with drop-in spoon carving with Tom Henscheid, followed by music and pizza in the evening. We're also inviting students to bring work to share. This could either be in process or complete. Come say hi and reconnect with your PTSW community of instructors and students.
