Climate Crawl

Cut through the jargon and misconceptions in sustainable millwork design.

Join us at Design Workshops for an inside look at how your millwork design choices shape a project’s sustainability, longevity, and climate impact.

See how decisions at every stage – from concept and design to fabrication and installation – can make a difference. You’ll enjoy a short presentation, an open discussion, and a guided tour of the woodworking shop. Light refreshments will be provided.
