Furniture-making Workshops at Sutherland Steam Mill

Sutherland Steam Mill Museum in Denmark, Colchester Co., near Tatamagouche, will continue to host woodworking workshops this fall with renowned Nova Scotia furniture maker Jonathan Otter.

For the second year, the museum is offering a variety of workshops that are almost entirely hands-on, using hand tools and traditional methods.

"I love to teach people woodworking skills that will help them do projects on their own," said Mr. Otter. "Sutherland Steam Mill is an excellent backdrop to do that."

The next round of workshops begin Saturday, Sept. 5, and run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students can take their projects home when they are done.

"The workshops are an excellent opportunity for interested Nova Scotians to explore their creative nature and to learn from an award-winning artisan," said Communities, Culture and Heritage Minister Tony Ince.

Sutherland Steam Mill Museum is located at 3169 Highway 326. For details and a complete list of courses go to http://sutherlandsteammill.novascotia.ca/woodworking-workshops-jonathan-otter .
