SUMMARY:Half Hull Model Class
DESCRIPTION:Half hull models serve as traditional methods to visualize\, plan\, and understand a vessel’s three-dimensional design and proportions. This half hull model class teaches participants to create a scale\, half-side replica of a North Carolina Shad boat’s hull. Classes provide hands-on woodworking experience by teaching techniques like transferring boat plans\, cutting laminated “lifts” of wood\, and carving the hull into its final shape\, resulting in a finished model ready for the participant to apply the finish of their choosing at home. \nClass fee is $150 ($135 for Friends of the Museum\, which sponsors the program). Minimum age is 16. Course size is limited\, and advance registration is required. Register below or by calling 252-504-7758.
