The Maine Coast Workshop is a small woodworking school located in the scenic coastal community of Camden, Maine, nestled in a scenic harbour on the Penobscot Bay. Our woodworking school focuses on traditional hand tool techniques taught by some of the most well-respected woodworking instructors in the world. Students of all abilities come to take woodworking & wood carving classes.  You'll enjoy wonderful camaraderie, a supportive environment, and you'll advance your skills more in one week than years on your own.
