Packbasket Weaving Weekend
With a brown ash pack-basket you can carry the world! During this weekend you will weave a whole packbasket, learn the art of “pounding ash” to make the basket material, and enjoy community-style meals of great local food. Participants leave with their own packbaskets on their backs! Class runs Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon.
Acorn Processing Day
Acorns- the amazing, bountiful, ancient staple of humanity! But did you ever try eating a raw acorn? Ptewy! You probably spit it right out! However, it just takes a little processing to transform acorns into a truly delicious staple food. This is real food, we eat hundreds of pounds a year! As part of this day we honor indigenous cultures that have enjoyed acorns for thousands of years, and we investigate the potential of acorn to transform modern food systems and culture. We'll begin the day with harvesting and end with baking!
Spoons Spatulas and Spreaders: Carving Workshop
Join us for a full day of "nerding out" with wood. Using drawknife and shave-horse for large spoons and spatulas, small Swedish knives for small spoons and spreaders, and gouges to hollow out spoon bowls, you will have a whole day to experiment, make shavings, and leave with an implement or two!
