Upper Midwest Rendezvous! May 1-3

Join us on MayDay at Tilers International in Scotts, Michigan

Join us at Tillers International in Scotts, Michigan over May Day weekend! Tillers has graciously invited us to their beautiful farm campus, where we will cut, join and raise a small frame to leave on site. We have a host of activities lined up including: animal power demos, blacksmithing and hewing, axe throwing and more. There will camping on site, delicious meals provided and plenty of opportunity to grow your knowledge and community. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to timber framing or a seasoned veteran, this is the place to come and share what you know or learn new skills. Come and kick off the summer with the Guild! Scholarships are available!
