Drew and Louise Langsner have been welcoming students and guests to Country Workshops and their home since 1978 to learn about traditional woodworking. The 100-acre Langsner farm is found in a secluded cove, surrounded by hardwood forests and the natural beauty of the southern Appalachian Mountains. The Country Workshops experience is much more than a traditional woodworking class.  It is an opportunity for woodworkers to experience the quiet beauty, friendly company and delicious meals reminiscent of simpler times when woodworking with hand tools was a part of everyday life.



Country Workshops offers a unique woodworking experience which allows our students to focus on the process of learning and creating in the company of master instructors and fellow enthusiasts. Each class (which can be 2, 5 or 6 days) involves a carefully selected project, designed to develop skills and to introduce woodworking techniques in a logical and thorough manner. We are a hands-on school; participants are involved in every step from raw materials to the finished project. Our goal is to engage students in a rewarding relationship with wood and craft traditions while creating beautiful and useful objects. At Country Workshops, students create an heirloom while acquiring  valuable, traditional woodworking skills.
