Skip Dewhirst 

A furniture maker and timber framer, Skip has been actively pursuing his passion for woodworking and teaching for over 35 years. He was introduced to the joy of crafting beautiful things by hand at a young age by his grandmother and is fulfilled by helping others realize their own sense of accomplishment that comes from making something beautiful and strong. He has had the pleasure to teach well over 100 classes in furniture making, woodworking, timber framing and natural building workshops at Rocky Mountain Workshops,Yestermorrow Design Build School, Dartmouth College, Rancho Mastatal, Bona Fide, and Mao Organic Farm.

Skip brings his dedication and passion to designing, building, and crafting with wood to the courses he teaches and the things that he builds. When he is not teaching, Skip can be found building timber frame homes and barns, in his woodshop making custom furniture or handmade instruments, or roaming the Vermont woods in search of wild mushrooms.
