The International Preservation Trades Workshop
Silver Edition



September 7 - 9, 2023
Historic Preservation Training Center

Hargett Farm, Frederick, Maryland


Twenty-five years ago, the first "Gathering of the Trades" demonstrated that sharing, learning, and talking with tools in hand filled a void in the mainstream preservation movement some doubted even existed. Our mission is to empower the traditional building trades through network, good works, community, fellowship and education. Trades education has always been and continues to be our central focus and the driving force behind the International Preservation Trades Workshop. This year IPTW returns to where it all began -- the National Park Service's Historic Preservation Training Center in Frederick, Maryland. Read more about the first IPTW held here in 1997.

Pre-conference workshops, sessions, and registration details will be updated regularly on this page. Check back to see them as they post, and we'll see you in Maryland!

Both Chuck and Dale carved the rose over a few days as a collaboration project between Historic Environmental Scotland, the National Park Service and the White House Historical Association. This demonstration will cover the steps taken by both to take a detailed survey of the existing rose carving above the North Door of The White House, sourcing the original Aquia Creek sandstone as used by the Scots masons who built the white house in the 1790’s and the working steps to replicate the rose carving in a high relief carving style.

    REPRODUCING HISTORIC MOLDINGS: Hollows and What?
    Mark Segro

    Preservation carpenters often find the need to reproduce short sections of moldings in the field on-site, with or without access to a full shop. Options include taking the molding to a millwork shop or producing yourself. If you do it yourself, do you have knives that match or do you need to get them custom-made? This is the most logical and practical option if you need long runs, but what do you do if you only need a few feet replicated? The session will show you how to be efficiently creative with tools on-hand to replicate shorter pieces of molding, using a combination of hand and power tools.

    Learning Objectives

    • A brief overview of molding plane types, functionality, use, and advantages in preservation carpentry.

    • To develop profiles and layouts, how to break down profile and cut sequence, and how to prepare stock.

    LINSEED PAINT: How the Past Can Save the Future
    Michiel Brouns

    Why does wood cladding last hundreds of years and suddenly, starting in the mid-twentieth century, begin to rot? Often modern materials and methods of the twentieth century that were meant to improve upon the past, have proved to be detrimental instead. As a part of this modern shift from traditional building materials, many thoughts about linseed oil paint these days are rooted in fundamental misunderstandings and misconceptions about the application and general nature of this time tested, natural, architectural material.

    Learning Objectives

    • Learn about linseed paint and how is it made
    • Learn its historical and modern uses
    • Understand the properties of linseed oil paint and how it can be used in modern contexts

    PRACTICAL GEOMETRY: Framing With a Compass
    Jane Griswold Radocchia

    Come draw! See how Serlio, Palladio, James Gibbs and William Buckland used Practical Geometry. This session will teach about the geometry of historic frames erected in the rural Northeast and compare that geometry with what was used in Virginia, Maryland, and Louisiana. Attendees will practice proportioning a steeple, plan a glass curtain wall without numbers, and generate a complete timber frame from one dimension and one length. This can all be done through the use of daisy wheels, the rule of thirds, the 3/4/5 rectangle for construction and design. You will wonder why they no longer teach this in high school. Compasses, straight edges, and paper will be provided. Bring a pencil!

    Learning Objectives

    • Why and how geometry was practical; what they who used it wrote about it.

    • Learn how to draw a square with a compass, a straightedge and a scribe.

    • Learn how the Rule of Thirds divides your square into 3, 4, 5, or 6 equal rectangles.

    GOT SHOTS? How to avoid crappy photos, and what you can do with good ones.
    Tod Bryant and Ken Follett

    Bring your smartphones! Photos help all of us to communicate to a wider audience the quality of our work. Really good photos show our passion, and sharing them through various media is a low-cost means of advertising and marketing to attract good customers. Your skill in a traditional trade will be enhanced with the skill to show remarkable photos of your work. Tod Bryant taught photography at the New School, in NYC for forty years. Ken Follett has for an equal amount of time wandered around on worksites taking photos. Together, this dynamic duo will show how to shoot a decent photo with what you already carry with you–a smart phone–and how to use phone editing to enhance what you have shot. 

    Learning Objectives

    • Understand how to shoot better photos. 
    • Learn about basic photo editing. 

    • Gain an appreciation of the art of photography as it relates to traditional building trades.

    • Various ways in which to promote your work with photos.

    WHAT IS A HOUSE WITHOUT ITS YARD: Remote Sensing: Looking Under the Ground Without Digging
    Scott Parker

    What is a house without its yard? In historic research buildings are inseparable from their surrounding landscapes. In order to fully understand the site you need information from both the building(s) and landscape(s). The best way to accomplish this is through interdisciplinary research with restorationists and archaeologists working along side one another and sharing information. Unfortunately this is rarely practical or even possible for most projects. Consequently, this presentation/demonstration will provide information about maintaining historic landscapes while conducting potentially ground disturbing activities, like restoration (What we call Maintenance Archaeology). This year we will concentrate on remote sensing and how these various techniques can provide information about what lies beneath the ground without disturbing it. Remote sensing techniques displayed and discussed include: metal detecting, soil resistivity, areal photography and photogrammetry and LiDar. Demonstrations of the various techniques are planned but dependent on the limitations and restrictions of the venue.

    Learning Objectives

    • Discuss Archaeology and its role in preservation
    • How to preserve archaeological resources while conducting historic building restoration
    • Provide an introduction to remote sensing
    • Understand why to use remote sensing and what kinds of information can it provide

    • Learn about the ingredients for effective student learning
    • Think about why taking trades training to the next level matters

    WHERE AM I? WHY DOES THIS PLACE MATTER?
    Molly Ames Baker

    Connecting to the site is a foundational - and often forgotten - part of historic trades preservation. As tradespeople, it's easy to dive into the project without first getting grounded where we are. At what cost? The site/resource can become a scenic backdrop to the task at hand. By making time to develop our own "sense of place", we can create context and more meaning for our work. At every historic site, there is the possibility of tapping into the passion and tradition of the tradespeople who came before. During this hands-on, heads-on, hearts-on workshop, we will walk-through some essential theory and then try out several options for getting connected to Haggert Farms. Whatever your trade and wherever your next project takes you, walk away with some new "sense of place" tools to add to your toolbox!

    Learning Objectives

    • Learn how the "Sense of Place Arc" overlays with the NPS Guiding Principles of historic trades preservation 
    • Identify examples of when/how historic sites become a scenic backdrop 
    • Try several simple ways to get connected to Hargett Farm 
    • Reflect on why developing a sense of place is worthwhile in your own practice
