SUMMARY:Calligraphy with Turkey Quills
DESCRIPTION:First\, we will learn how to prepare walnut ink from the husks of local black walnuts. The black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) is one of North America’s most valuable and beautiful native trees. We will then learn how to temper and cut a turkey’s wing feather into a fine writing tool that we can use with the velvety smooth walnut ink to create calligraphy (beautiful writing!). For the calligraphy classes we will use a chisel-shaped felt pen and learn two letter styles – Gothic\, or blackletter\, and the Foundational Hand\, also using our black walnut ink. Other materials and uses will be demonstrated as well.

SUMMARY:Sharpening and Honing Blades
DESCRIPTION:Chasing the sharpest edge possible has consumed Howard’s time and efforts for the past 22 years. He started making knives in 1973 and has worked diligently to get blades of all types as sharp as possible with a repeatable process that can be replicated by other people. Over the years Howard has studied whetstones in museums around the world and amassed a huge study collection of rocks which have been used for various purposes by craftsmen around the world throughout time. All of Howard’s sharpening work is done under magnification and he has invented tools and processes for sharpening quickly and to a keen edge. At the end of this presentation\, students will have an understanding and hands on knowledge of: edge geometry\, types of steel\, heat treating\, natural and manmade sharpening stones and options\, and a better way to understand the intersection of blade steel\, heat treatment\,\nblade geometry\, stone type and technology\, and how it all works together.
