​& Rug Hooking

ADULT CARVING CLUB - Thursday mornings, 9:00AM - 12:00Noon
Since 2016, the Barbey Maritime Center's Sam Johnson Woodworking Shop has hosted a casual, weekly meeting of carving enthusiasts.  Carvers work on current projects, as well as trade tips, techniques and design ideas. 

Each participant should bring their own tools and materials.  The carving group is a great way to maintain skills and develop new ones. ​

January 8, 15 and 29, 2026

ADULT MAT WEAVING CLUB - select Saturday mornings, 10:00AM - 12:00Noon
In the era of wooden boats, “chafing mats” were woven out of repurposed fishing line and placed on the deck in high traffic areas to reduce wear and tear on the wooden surface. It was regarded as a boat ‘accessory’ and many sailors who had pride in their craft learned how to weave them.  Register for CRMM's Maritime Weaving Club to try your hand at these historic patterns!
 
Capacity in the Sam Johnson Woodworking Shop is limited to 8 weavers at a time.
Registration will open the Monday prior to the weaving club date.
Can't make it after you register? Please email [email protected] to let us know, as this club is in high demand.
