A Gathering at Encraft
May 7, 2024 | 5:30 PM
On May 7th, we're bringing you closer to the magic happening at Encraft, the first event in our 2024 Old House Series. Encraft uses a blend of technology and building materials to recreate vintage details with contemporary efficiency. We'll be stepping into their Rossville workshop where you can immerse yourself in their process as they recreate historical millwork and carvings with precision, allowing builders to stay true to the original masterpiece. Join us for a genuine journey into the past, powered by the future.
