SUMMARY:Mountain Gathering Basket
DESCRIPTION:This basket is based on a forerunner of the Nantucket Lightship basket\, c. 1850. Woven on a round oak base\, the spokes are inserted into a groove which holds them firmly in place. This basket employs a continuous chase weave to build the sides\, using two weavers at once. The basket is hand-shaped\, not woven on a mold\, and students will be challenged and excited to watch their creations grow with two weavers. A hand-carved oak handle is incorporated into the rim\, which finishes this rustically graceful and functional basket. It is woven on a 6″ oak base which grows into a 12″ diameter basket. Dimensions are approx. 10″ high at sides\, 16″ high at handle.

SUMMARY:Build a Rustic Birdhouse
DESCRIPTION:Anyone can learn to make a rustic birdhouse in just a few hours. A birdhouse is a simple structure with seven basic parts: two sides\, a front and back\, a bottom\, and two pieces for the top. Power tools are not necessary to cut the wood; it can be done with a handsaw. Using rough-cut lumber\, you will construct a rustic birdhouse that can be functional and/or decorative. Choose from several birdhouse designs. There will be a short discussion about nesting birds\, feeding birds and suitable houses for area birds. Participants are encouraged to bring objects (such as old drawer pulls\, doorknobs\, hardware\, etc.) from home. Adults and teens welcome; children ages 10-14 must be accompanied by an adult.

SUMMARY:Intermed. Blacksmithing - Forging Transitions & Set-Ups for Various Shapes
DESCRIPTION:Forging a bar of stock into a particular shape\, be it a cooking utensil\, latch or other items requires two things. First\, you need to know how much material is necessary to create the shape\, the “set-up”\, and second\, how to forge out that shape\, the “transition”\, ensuring that they are both graceful and structurally sound. This class will explore traditional 18th century forging techniques with an emphasis on set-ups and transitions by forging a smiple spatula for hearth cooking as well as a more complicated key-hole spatula. Later we will explore latch making with the same emphasis. And lastly\, finishing of your work by filing it to bring out its beauty and add details. Many examples of latches and hearth cooking utensils will be available for students to examine. Students should have a wrking knowledge and bility to manage a coal fire\, basic hand forging knowledge and the ability to forge weld.

SUMMARY:Intermed. Blacksmithing - Forging Transitions & Set-Ups for Various Shapes
DESCRIPTION:Forging a bar of stock into a particular shape\, be it a cooking utensil\, latch or other items requires two things. First\, you need to know how much material is necessary to create the shape\, the “set-up”\, and second\, how to forge out that shape\, the “transition”\, ensuring that they are both graceful and structurally sound. This class will explore traditional 18th century forging techniques with an emphasis on set-ups and transitions by forging a smiple spatula for hearth cooking as well as a more complicated key-hole spatula. Later we will explore latch making with the same emphasis. And lastly\, finishing of your work by filing it to bring out its beauty and add details. Many examples of latches and hearth cooking utensils will be available for students to examine. Students should have a wrking knowledge and bility to manage a coal fire\, basic hand forging knowledge and the ability to forge weld.
