Looking for kayak building class
 

Hi I was curious to know if anyone knew of any kayak building classes?
I have found a couple online but haven't been able to find much
information about them. I would like a class where I can keep the
boat I build. Thanks for any help offered.

What kind of construction are you interested in? Classes are available
in skin-on-frame and stitch-&-glue construction, but I haven't heard of
anyone who teaches strip building.

Where area you located? There are schools all over the country.

Ultimately I would like a strip building class but I would be open to
the stitch & glue or maybe the skin-on-frame. I am in Dallas, Tx so I
know I will have to travel to any of the schools. So far I have found
the class at Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking building one of
the Guillemot Kayaks and the Redfish Kayak class at the Northwest
School of Wooden Boatbuilding. I have also found the class that
builds one of the CLC boats.

So I was just curious if there were others out there that I am missing
or opinions on any of the classes.
