Preservation Bootcamp is a program in Northwest Arkansas and Eureka Springs to develop skills based on preservation specifically. We envision programming that brings experts from around the country to share best practices in preserving the built environment.
The second Preservation Bootcamp kicks off with Bob Yapp, a renowned expert in preservation, to teach the restoration of wood floors.
This is a tuition-based class with a limit of 12 students. You will be working side-by-side all three days with instructor Bob Yapp. Bob is nationally recognized as one of the top experts in hands-on preservation and has restored over 70,000 square feet of historic wood floors of every variety.
This will be an intense, learn-by-doing opportunity. This class is not about aggressively drum sanding wood floors so they look new. Much like fine antiques we want to keep the character defining features and patina of the flooring. This is a tuition-based class with a limit of 12 students. You will be working side- by-side all two days with instructor Bob Yapp.
Cost is a sliding scale of $100 - $350 per person with scholarships available. Email to secure your spot or ask about scholarships.
