This was what I remembered from reading their catalog. Either the memory is going, or they changed their schedule
: The North House Folk School in Minnesota www.northhouse.org has an
: annual class in birchbark canoe building. The first week is
: devoted to finding and preparing materials. The second week is
: spent building a boat, which is either sold or raffled off to
: one of the class members.
After checking their website it appears that the "collecting materials" class is not currently scheduled. The previous offering for birchbark canoe building was a class where everyone makes their own 1:8 scale model. It was offered in August 2009
and participants ended up with a three foot long (90 cm) birchbark canoe, and the knowledge of how to build a bigger one.
I guess anyone who would be interested in these crafts might want to e-mail them to see if they will be offering such courses in the future.
Sorry the previous post wasn't correct.
