SHPA Series: Space for Place

������ In class yesterday, I spoke of some opportunities out there�for furthering one's education, and even developing and furthering craft skills.� There are a few to choose from, more than I can mention here -- and probably many more cropping up -- but a good place to start would be with the Preservation Trades Network.� Their yearly gathering is the International Preservation Trades Workshop.� I have been fortunate to attend several over the past few years, and I�can share some images in the photo section.
