School of Window Craft

The Total Window Makeover Series

window craft courses for all skill levels

Offered through the Living Heritage Trades Academy in San Antonio.

The mission of the Living Heritage Trades Academy (LHTA) is to create opportunities for all to perpetuate traditional skills and crafts; to conserve and maintain existing building stock and materials; and to leverage living heritage for economic prosperity in San Antonio and beyond. Through fellowship and collaboration with neighborhoods, community, and education partners, the program will work to eliminate barriers to attaining training to anyone interested.

The Wood Window Restoration course is part of the LHTA workforce development program. Most of the students attending are attending at no cost as they reside in Bexar County and meet eligibility criteria. When space is available, we can enroll students for the 5-day course for a donation fee. The donation collected is meant to recover the cost for the course only. Any fees collected go back into the LHTA program to support future trainings.
