On Friday, April 23, from 11-12, ARLIS/NA conference attendees are welcome to attend a free tour of one of the oldest crafts schools in the country. The School is located in Boston's historic North End neighborhood; those attending the North End food tour on Friday morning will be well located to attend. The North Bennet Street School (www.nbss.org<http://www.nbss.org>) was incorporated in 1885 in Boston's North End as North Bennet Street Industrial School. The School offers full-time courses in Bookbinding, Cabinet and Furniture Making,Carpentry and Preservation Carpentry, Jewelry Making and Repair, Locksmithing, Piano Technology and Violin Making and Repair. In each program, highly skilled instructors teach students in small classes, sharing their knowledge and talent. Students graduate with the proficiency of well qualified professionals in their chosen trade or craft.
We will have a guide leaving from the hotel at 10:30 to escort those interested from there. If you are interested in attending, please let me know; there will also be a flyer and sign-up sheet available at the registration desk.
