A sampling of class suggestions:
Kichen Loom: An introduction to woodworking and weaving. Participants build a floor-standing simple loom of pine and finish it with a coat of mineral oil. Learn to string the loom and begin weaving.
Woodworking Weaponry: Instructions in the safe use of hand tools and a large selection of wood to inspire your creativity. Possible projects include swords, daggers, battle-axes, bows and arrows, slingshots, catapults, and much more.
Catapult Building: Students practice measuring and learn to use basic hand tools as they build a working roman style catapult powered by a torsion spring.
Dream Pillow: Create a beautiful lavender scented pillow to match your bedroom or to give as a gift. Experience the magic of wet felting as you create your pillow using silky merino wool in your choice of colors.
Beeswax Candle Dipping: Candle dipping with beeswax is a wonderful sensory experience for all ages. Dip a pair of candles and make a natural wood holder with woodworking tools while the candles cool and dry.
Felted Slippers: Experience the magic of felt making as you create a beautiful pair of warm wool slippers to keep your feet toasty all winter while gaining confidence with felt making that may inspire you to create your own felted projects at home.
Recycled Sweater Workshop: Stitch up a cute hat, mittens, handwarmers, or a creative project of your own design using felted wool sweaters. Students will envision a project, create a simple pattern, and stitch the parts together with brightly colored yarn.
