Join guest instructor Jenn Kuhn on the weekend of Dec. 5-7 to build the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum alternative to a “euro spoon” kayak paddle. Each participant will leave with their own cedar Greenland paddle, with materials and basic tools provided. Participants are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch each day. Noted to reduce stress on hands, elbows, and shoulders without sacrificing control and power, the Greenland paddle is remarkable for its narrower and longer blade. Based on a 1,000-year-old Inuit design, the paddle measures about the width of the kayaker’s shoulders, with a blade that is less than four inches wide that tapers to a shaft or “loom.” This program is supported by CBMM’s Regional Folklife Center under the Maryland Traditions program of the Maryland State Arts Council.
