 74059\n\nThe cottage craft coopering tradition taught at the Somerset Hist
 orical Center stems from continual passing down of the craft within Somers
 et County from the 1800s to the present day. James Johnson and Jubal Werne
 r\, whose family were Somerset County coopers\, shared\ntheir knowledge in
  the 1970’s with Mark Ware who in turn shared the techniques and knowledge
  with numerous other persons throughout the years as a Museum Educator wit
 h the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission at the Somerset Histor
 ical Center.\n\nMark Ware: Coopering since 1974\, he learned from Somerset
  County descendants\, and has documented and preserved Somerset County\nco
 opering techniques throughout the years. He also studied coopering through
  a Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission Professional Enhancement 
 Grant with Master Cooper George Pettingill at Colonial Williamsburg\, a PA
  Council on the Arts grant with James R. Johnson\, and at Petersvalley\, a
  New Jersey Craft School. Numerous volunteers who have previously taken th
 e coopering workshop come back to assist participants. The Somerset Histor
 ical Center’s Coopering School is dedicated to teaching these traditional 
 Somerset County coopering techniques for future generations. To date more 
 than 150 persons have participated in the coopering school classes.\n\nCoo
 pering in Somerset County\, Pennsylvania Coopering was an important cottag
 e craft industry throughout the Somerset County Maple Sugar Region. Wooden
  buckets\, tubs\, sugar keelers (buckets to collect maple sugar water as i
 t dripped from the spile) and other wooden vessels were needed throughout 
 the county for the burgeoning maple sugar industry. Many farmers in the re
 gion were ‘Jacks of all Trades” and were able to make the needed items as 
 a sideline to farming.\n\nThese skilled artisans fashioned thousands of ma
 ple sugar keelers from white pine and bound them with hoops made of white 
 oak. Participants construct a maple sugar keeler using traditional methods
  and hand tools. Stave construction\, head measurement and fitting\, metal
  hoop splaying and riveting will be taught.\n\nStudents work at their own 
 pace\, a person of average wood-working skills is able to complete the pro
 ject during the workshop.\n\nSchedule: \nFriday\, 4/26 from 6pm until...?
 \nSaturday\, 4/27 from 9am to 5pm\nSunday\, 4/28 from 9am to 11am
