Traditional Crafts

In this family-friendly class, children ages 6 and up, with the help of a parent, will weave a rainbow of colored flat reed splint onto a hardwood stool. Stool and weaving materials will be provided.

Many of our "Founding Feathers" were indeed from turkeys! We will learn how to cut and letter with our own turkey quill pen using ink made from black walnut husks. Black Letter (Gothic) and Roman letter styles will be demonstrated and students will have an opportunity to practice using simple homemade markers.
