Colonial Williamsburg to host woodworking conference in January – The Virginian-Pilot

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation will host its annual Working Wood in the 18th Century Conference from Jan. 23-26 next year.

Offered both virtually and in-person, the year’s conference explores pre-Revolutionary furniture belonging to people from diverse walks of life.

Several projects featured at the conference are destined for Colonial Williamsburg’s restoration of the Williamsburg Bray School (1760-74). The site is the oldest known building in the United States in which enslaved and free Black children were educated and the home of its middle-class teacher, Ann Wager, the foundation said in a news release.
