Timberframe Raising on The Greenway (free!)

North Bennet Street School (NBSS), a renowned North End institution specializing in craft education, is thrilled to announce its partnership with the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy for a fun Timberframe Raising event on Friday, June 30. This unique collaboration aims to promote the art of woodworking and offer engaging programming for young kids and families.

The event will take place at The Greenway's Carolyn Lynch Garden, at the intersection of North Street and Surface Road. As part of this occasion, students from NBSS will construct and raise an eight-foot-tall timberframe structure, providing an exceptional opportunity for attendees to witness craft in action. The project is the culmination of a five-day Community Education class taught at the School—one of over 120 similar classes NBSS offers to the public each year, in an array of disciplines.

During the Friday event, NBSS will provide programming for kids and families. These fun activities will be specifically tailored for younger children (ages 3-8), and include interactive toys, coloring sheets, and learning materials, which will provide a fun and educational experience for all attendees.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about the School's wide range of classes, which cater to various skill levels and interests. Materials with a focus on woodworking, timberframe construction, and preservation carpentry will be available.

The Timberframe Raising event is free and open to the public, taking place on Friday, June 30, at The Greenway’s Carolyn Lynch Garden, near the intersection of North Street and Surface Road. The is expected to be fully installed by 2:00pm on Friday and the structure will remain in place until Monday, July 3. Family activities will run on Friday only, from 10:00am to 3:00pm.
