This immersive two-day workshop offers beginners and seasoned carpenters alike a journey into the art and science of stair building. Whether participants envision a new set of exterior stairs for a home, a garden pathway, or a striking focal point in a commercial project, the course will equip them with the essential knowledge and hands-on experience to bring their vision to life. Stair building is a skill that blends precision, creativity, and technical know-how. In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of designing and constructing stairs that are safe and functional. Over the course of two days, they will gain confidence in their ability to create stairs that meet building codes, enhance spaces, and withstand the test of time. Participants will construct a scaled model of a basic exterior straight staircase with open stringers and a balustrade that is fully compliant with the International Residential Code (IRC). This hands-on project will solidify their understanding of stair-building principles while allowing them to apply what they have learned in a practical and meaningful way.
