At the end of the three days you will know from beginning to end, how to completely restore a double-hung window & receive a “Certificate of Completion”.

Tuition for this three-day workshop is $595 and includes beverages and lunch. Space is limited to eight students in each session and pre-registration is required.
Now for the COVID part of this workshop. It is nearly impossible to keep 6 feet separation during class. We can keep separation at lunch and on the huge porch in the evenings. As such, I am requiring every student to provide proof of vaccination in advance of the class. I know it’s a pain, but there is no reason for us to put each other at risk. Sort of the new reality in the world. We were spotless before, but now we have serious COVID cleaning protocols for the Inn and the School, also for your safety. And of course, if you’re not feeling well, please do not come.
Affordable motels as well as bed & breakfast inns are available for out of town students. Special student rates are also available here at the Belvedere Inn B & B.
