VILLAGE CANVAS SHOP

Within a few weeks he had taught me the basics and set me up with a boat to cover on my own. The job took me forever. I was getting discouraged, but my boss kept reassuring me that it was going just fine. From there it just took off! I taught myself most of the techniques that I still use, and have improved on many more. The marina grew in size and the owner lost sight of his biggest assets, his employees. After managing his canvas shop for a little more than two years, I set out on my own. I received financial help from my Parents, as well as a space in their building, to open my first shop in the village of Lake George. The "Village Canvas Shop" was started. Without the financial and moral support of my whole family I wouldn't be where I am today. Working out of a small garage, and offering dockside service is how I managed to get started.
