Tuesday, February 1st, 2022: Stereotomy with Patrick Moore.

If you've thought about punching up your great room with a ceiling fixture like that of a 13th Century French cathedral, then our next OWA Zoom meeting might just be the place to start.  Patrick Moore will star as our feature presenter, the topic being stereotomy.  Patrick is the first North and South American carpenter received as a Compagnon Passant Charpentier (Passing Companion Carpenter) in France and who completed his masters with the esteemed Association ouvrière des compagnons du devoir du tour de France (Companions of duty workers association of the tour of France).  If you would like to learn a little more about stereotomy or Mr Moore, visit his website at www.historicalcarpentry.com

If you're a member of the Ottawa Workers Association or her sister organisation Kingston Artisans, then you will receive an invitation to attend the Zoom meeting scheduled to start at 7PM on Tuesday, February 1st, 2022.
