SUMMARY:Turning Fine Detail Platters
DESCRIPTION:Learn to create\, shape\, and finish beautifully elegant plates and platters on the lathe. Explore how to add fine detail to accentuate and reinforce balance within the overall form. Emphasis will be placed on developing fine tool control\, design & form aesthetic\, finesse\, the nuances of sharpening\, and creating fine utility finishes.  We’ll explore platter form in depth\, and focus on creating lasting\, well-designed and crafted objects to be shared with others for generations to come. Explore the unique contrasts and various benefits between burnishing\, scraping and shear cutting surfaces at the lathe. Learn to understand the specific differences & advantages of each tool\, and how to sharpen effectively for excellent results at the lathe. Learn to understand how lathe speed and tool usage greatly affect the final surfaces being cut. Learn to modify and apply grinds which allow the tool’s function to broaden the depth of items one can turn at the lathe. Learn to recognize how grain orientation\, specific tool selection\, and application are vital to the process of turning fine platters at the lathe.

SUMMARY:Create Your Own Hardwood Cutting Board
DESCRIPTION:Come create a beautiful 12″-18″ hardwood cutting board during two\, half-day sessions. The class will discuss the types of wood being used\, such as sapele\, purple heart\, African cherry and hard maple. The wood will be cut to size on a table saw. Then\, using a joiner\, students will make sure all pieces are the same size before gluing the various pieces together and allowing them to dry overnight. On the second day\, the class will use planers to ensure that all boards are level and the same thickness. Students will then use a router to create a well and handles. Finally\, the boards will be sanded.

SUMMARY:Crafting an Adirondack Story
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we turn the woods into our personal theater as we take a nature based story and turn it into a theatrical experience.  Each child will make their own costume/prop and choose their own character in the story\, for the purpose of performing a play.  This is a 100% child led creative experience where each participant gets to bring their imagination to life! It will involve art and working with paint\, glue\, glitter and other such items.  So please dress for mess.  At the end of the session our work together will culminate with a live performance for family and friends.  Children will take their costume/prop home.

SUMMARY:National Curriculum Level 1
DESCRIPTION:The National Curriculum offers a step-by-step progression through three levels of fundamental blacksmithing skills. Certification signifies that a smith has demonstrated mastery of a specific set of skills\, increasing in complexity with each level: Level I (beginner)\, Level II (intermediate)\, Level III (advanced). Level I is the first level of the curriculum and is designed as a guide through beginning blacksmithing techniques. Starting with safety\, Level I then moves into core skills and techniques\, including tapering\, bending\, forging and heat-treating hand tools\, punching and drifting\, basic blacksmithing math\, forging to dimension\, forge-welding\, and creating tenons. It culminates in a final project\, the Gate Latch\, designed to test the student on these skills. Upon completion of Level I\, students will have confidence in the most essential blacksmithing skills and be able to forge a wide variety of projects. The program is designed to provide a solid foundation within the craft. To earn certification\, the student needs to successfully complete the projects and techniques as outlined in the checklist in the Level I Student Packet. This is found on the website abana.org The checklist allows students and instructors to keep track of progress. ABANA will accept the recommendation from an Affiliate?s Education Program Chair or the judgment of a Certified Level I Instructor that qualifies a student as having passed Level I.

SUMMARY:National Curriculum Level 1
DESCRIPTION:The National Curriculum offers a step-by-step progression through three levels of fundamental blacksmithing skills. Certification signifies that a smith has demonstrated mastery of a specific set of skills\, increasing in complexity with each level: Level I (beginner)\, Level II (intermediate)\, Level III (advanced). Level I is the first level of the curriculum and is designed as a guide through beginning blacksmithing techniques. Starting with safety\, Level I then moves into core skills and techniques\, including tapering\, bending\, forging and heat-treating hand tools\, punching and drifting\, basic blacksmithing math\, forging to dimension\, forge-welding\, and creating tenons. It culminates in a final project\, the Gate Latch\, designed to test the student on these skills. Upon completion of Level I\, students will have confidence in the most essential blacksmithing skills and be able to forge a wide variety of projects. The program is designed to provide a solid foundation within the craft. To earn certification\, the student needs to successfully complete the projects and techniques as outlined in the checklist in the Level I Student Packet. This is found on the website abana.org The checklist allows students and instructors to keep track of progress. ABANA will accept the recommendation from an Affiliate?s Education Program Chair or the judgment of a Certified Level I Instructor that qualifies a student as having passed Level I.
