The Timber Framers Guild is committed to offering a variety of educational and professional development opportunities.
Through Guild workshops, events, and Community Building Projects, you can connect with other timber framers or timber frame aficionados to build, share, and learn together.
Through the Heartwood School, our affiliated educational center, students can take courses ranging from the Basics of Building to Timber Framing Intensive.
The Timber Framers Guild is rich with opportunities for education and events. Choices are available around the world and include Community Building Projects, conferences, workshops, regional meetings, and schools. Check out our past events here.
