BELL TOWER

Jan 23

In collaboration with the Timber Framers Guild and Kaniksu Land Trust, Collin was proud to host an immersive 10-day bell tower workshop in Sandpoint, Idaho. Participants cut a bell-tower that will house a Nepalese-style bell and be installed on the historic sledding hill in Sandpoint for local partner Kaniksu Land Trust.

This world-class training experience featured Japanese master craftsmen, Kohei Yamamoto, and Yann Giguere and assistant teachers Jordan Finch, Dave Brown, Dave deLeeuw along with myself. The entire event celebrated cultural exchange and local contribution. Concurrent with the workshop, The Timber Framers Guild hosted TimberFest, which included a variety of demonstrations, speakers and events the entire family will enjoy.
