Training Workshops

 

Are now led by Keri Ames, an award winning fabricator and owner of Yachtman’s Canvas near Philadelphia, PA  Deb and I highly recommend her for training. Keri is a long time student that not only took every class we ever offered, but also became a friend. No better choice to take over teaching our methods and speed the learning curve to running a successful canvas shop. Small class size in a comfortable atmosphere of learning makes all the difference! Mark & Deb

New Owner of Hood Canvas in Marblehead MA (Little Harbor)

 

Krisha Plauche' of Onboard Interiors has bought Hood Canvas and now owns the Hood Canvas Domain. We will be consulting with Krisha in the coming months to teach her and her employees our methods of fabrication when we can. We highly recommend Krisha to all our customers for their canvas needs. Located in Ted Hood's old sail loft in Marblehead, MA she is the perfect choice to take over Hood Canvas and all my brothers canvas work at CW Hood Yachts, also in Marblehead.

Cheers! Mark and Deb Hood
