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:Build a Wee Lassie Canoe
DESCRIPTION:The original Wee Lassie was a lapstrake-built open cedar canoe made in 1863 by J. Henry Rushton of Canton\, NY. Rushton was one of the most famous canoe builders of his era. George Washington Sears\, who wrote of his adventures under his pen name of Nessmuk as he recorded his paddling adventures throughout the Adirondacks\, popularized these small\, finely crafted canoes. Come spend 11 wonderful days with master instructor Larry Benjamin building your own Wee Lassie. You will be guided through every step of the building process. Leave with a beautiful\, lightweight canoe that handles well in the water. Open to all level of student.

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:Traditional Herbal Practice: Wildcrafting-Plants of Summer
DESCRIPTION:The wheel of the year turns again\, and the heat is on! The plants of summer invite us to tap into the full potential of opening the abundance within our heart through working with our hands. Let’s connect with nature and what she’s offering us at this time of the year\, while engaging in the traditional practice of wildcrafting plants at peak for the purpose of caring for our bodies in and out. In this course we will discuss the Celtic festival of Lughnasadh\, as well as the essence & traits of this season. We will harvest and then take our bounty into the classroom for making preparations using traditional herbal practices. In this make and take experience\, you can expect to go home with two herbal preparations based on what is alive\, at peak\, and available for harvest. While it’s impossible to predict “who” will be available for us to work with\, what I can share is that in past summer classes we’ve made: Wild Plant Medicinal Infusions\, On the Spot Plant Poultices\, Plant infused Oil to treat skin irritations\, Salve for bug bites and stings. Please inform us ahead of time if you have any allergies.

SUMMARY:Spinning Yarn from Wool
DESCRIPTION:Janet’s woven items often start with unique one-of-a-kind hand spun yarns. Spend an evening and see how she starts with wool from a variety of sheep and adds some bamboo or sparkle to create a blend of fiber to spin into thick or thin single ply yarn. After spinning again\, a simple yarn is created\, or texture and coils can be added to create an “art yarn” that looks wonderful when used to weave or knit.

SUMMARY:Harp Making
DESCRIPTION:Come build a Paraguayan harp. This harp is characterized by a large soundbox with a rounded base\, very light weight\, closely-spaced light tension strings (usually nylon)\, a relatively flat harmonic curve\, and with the strings running up through the center of the neck\, which are tuned with gear-style tuners (like a guitar). Almost all harps of this style are played with the fingernails\, in very rhythmically intricate music. This is the national instrument of Paraguay\, and is commonly found throughout South America\, Central America and in parts of Mexico. Students will be using tools from the past and today\, to fashion an instrument that will last a lifetime. After this class you may even want to learn to play your beautiful new harp!
