Build a half-hull clipper model at CBMM March 26-27

St. Michaels, Md. (February 7, 2011) -- The Model Guild at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland will host a weekend model-building workshop from 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27. Participants will be led step-by-step by skilled volunteer modelers to create a half-hull model of the Pride of Baltimore II. Band sawed from a block and carved to the rounded shape of the Pride’s hull, the half-hull model is then mounted on a baseboard to form a fine wall display piece.
  CBMM’s Model Guild welcomes anyone 12 years of age or older to take these classes, and encourages new members of all skill levels to participate in the guild, use its facilities, and trade model building experience with Museum visitors. Classes can accommodate six students. A special rate for a parent-child team can accommodate younger children.
  The cost for the March 26-27 workshop is $80 for CBMM members and $90 for nonmembers.
  All tools and materials are supplied. Call 410-745-2916 to register for the class or 410-745-3266 for more information. Pre-registration is required by Monday, March 21.
