🔥Why Apprenticeship?
America’s historic homes are filled with windows that no one knows how to fix properly anymore.
Window Craft isn’t just a repair method—it’s a movement to restore what’s been forgotten.
Apprenticeship is how we pass it on.
We don’t teach shortcuts. We teach mastery.
We don’t train jobbers. We train artisans.
If you’ve got the spark, we’ll fan it into a flame.
