The UNH Art Department’s woodworking and furniture design program was recently awarded a $6,547 grant from the UNH Parents Association to purchase critical tools and supplies. The tools will allow the woodshop to better accommodate large introductory woodworking classes and enhance the studio spaces. The Parents Association recently awarded $104,002 in its spring round of grants. —JG

Workshop Promises Smooth Sailing

Build your own boat!

Even if the financial seas are blowin’ a bit rough, you could be enjoying smooth sailing—on your own boat—this spring through the UNH Marine Docent Family Boatbuilding Program.

Registration is now open for the workshop, May 15, 16, and 17, in which experts guide families in building a 12-foot sailboat—perfect for exploring quiet bays, lakes, and ponds. For $950, the workshop provides everything needed to set sail, except for paint, oars, life jackets, and sailing lessons. In the past eight years, the program has helped 50 families get on the water. The finished product will easily carry two adults, or even three in a light wind. She is equally adept as a rowboat for calm days.
The workshop is held at the University’s Kingman Farm in Madbury. Each family must include at least one child age 12 to 20. Extended families or single parents are encouraged to apply. For more information, call Mark Wiley at the Marine Docent office, 603 749 1565, or e-mail mak.wiley@UNH.edu. Or, check it out on the Web. —JG
