Thursday 18. March 2010 Course in stair building 2010

By: Christian Rummel

As advised previously for the first time Casa Calfelor will offer an international course in the technique of building stairs this year.

Beside some Romanian craftsmen, who will participate, all journeymen and our French friends are invited to make drawings with us, to plane and to steady the thought of international understanding.

The course shall take place from the 7th till the 18th of June in the trade school of Sibiu, several time before the summer project. That way we can focus on learning squarely.

The contribution towards expenses amounts between 80 to 100 Euro.

Due to the limited number of participants we ask you, to give us sufficient notice.
