Workshops to be held in 2008

Home  E-mail    Furniture/Sculptures   Workshops  Michigan Peace Fest

Starting in  April 2007 I will be holding  workshops at my home in Grand Junction MI. for the serious furniture maker. This is a 3day workshop where students will learn how to gather material, build several projects, and learn about marketing, sales, and shipping, Included is books that I have written on the subject, bed and breakfast and a gallery page of your work on www.rusticfurnituremakers.com  This is a class limited to 4 people (couples welcome with a 100.00 per person)  extra charge for accommodations. The total price to get your new Willow furniture business started is $800.00. Reservations must be made  in advance.  Call 1-269-253-4306 or e-mail me at Bim@bimwillow.com  for more info       

What another furniture makers has to say      
Bim is the author of popular rustic books and teaches classes across the country including at The Adirondack Museum. He is really known throughout the rustic furniture world as "the true spirit of rustic"
His style of building is free form, naturally basic and very unique, and his teaching skills are really great, always with an upbeat humor that attracts a crowd.
Hope that we can all teach throughout the year!  kind regards, Don Mcaulay Jr. & Sr.
