Hood Marine Canvas Consulting
Zoom Training Classes
​
​We offer On-Line Zoom Training Classes on a regular basis for both Advanced Fabricators and Beginners to learn the Marine Canvas Trade. We have a limit of 15 attendees per class so they tend to sell out quickly. Various classes are offered and are reasonably priced. Our most recent Zoom Classes were "Advanced Patterning Techniques" and "One Step Patterning Techniques". Mark along with his wife Deb have 43 years of experience running Hood Canvas and 13 years of running a Marine Canvas School together. In addition we offer Private Zoom Training by the hour. Both the Zoom Classes and Private Zoom Training are available to purchase through our website store.
Published How-To Books
​Mark's two books above are available in our website store. Both books provide essential information for the marine canvas fabricator. They are spiral bound to lay flat while reading and have waterproof front and back covers. Over 1000 have been sold to date and there are no other step-by-step books like them on the market today.
Marine Canvas Fabrication
​
We occasionally do some fabrication work for local marine canvas shops from supplied workable patterns. Additionally we can make items for individual local customers that does not require patterning or fitting on the boat such as repairs or cushion duplication. We also fabricate sail covers and make high end sail packs for sailboats from customer supplied measurements. The amount of work we do is limited. Call Mark or Deb.
Training
We highly recommend our friend Keri Ames of The Yachtsman's Canvas Company for all your training needs. Offering small classes in a comfortable learning atmosphere is the key to successful learning. Keri took all our classes and became an award winning fabricator. When we retired after 13 years of teaching we turned our school over to her.
