Apprenticeship...
The
Carpenter's Boat Shop is located in Pemaquid, Maine. It
operates
from two farmhouses on 21 acres of land near the Pemaquid River.
Apprenticeship at the Boat Shop is open to any person over 18.
Any
person who seeks to be an apprentice is required to spend 3 days in
residence at the boat shop. This preliminary visit enables
the
potential apprentice to see and experience boatshop life.
Following the visit a person may apply.
We
schedule visits between October and early March to be considered for
the
class beginning in September. The last possible date for visiting
this year is March 3rd-6th. Please contact us as soon as you can
to schedule a visit as our visiting dates do fill up.
Applications are due by March 15th.
Notices of
acceptance are mailed out in early April. Please contact us to
schedule a visit.
Apprenticeships are for a period of nine months, from September until
mid-June.
For
those who come to the Carpenter's Boat Shop there will be no charge,
neither will there be pay for work done. Our aim is to live
in
creative simplicity. The life of the boat shop is supported
by
the sale of boats build by apprentices and by the generous gifts of
many people, year after year. We are deeply grateful for
those
gifts.
For more information, or if you would like to schedule a visit for the Sept 2011 to June 2012 year, please
contact
us.
