SUMMARY:Forging a Chef's Knife
DESCRIPTION:This class is taught by renowned instructor and the very first winner of History Channel’s Forged in Fire\, Matthew Parkinson. The chef’s knife is the most used knife in almost any home. These iconic knives help to create meals for family and loved ones. Well-made kitchen knives can last a lifetime and this class will give you the opportunity to create one of your very own. In this two-day class students will make their own chef’s knife from high carbon steel.  All aspects of bladesmithing will be covered\, from forging the blade to shaping\, then heat treating\, grinding and polishing\, making and fitting a wooden handle and finally\, sharpening – with very special attention given to the design and geometry of this kind of knife. This class is intended as an introductory bladesmithing class\, but some forging experience is helpful.

SUMMARY:Fibonacci Thirteen
DESCRIPTION:Barbara designed this basket inspired by patterns discussed in a class on sacred geometry.  The Fibonacci sequence of numbers exists in our daily world and woven together this sequence produces 13 glorious spirals.  Students will begin the project by weaving a two-by-two twill base.  Students will learn a technique for hand-shaping this base into a “cathead” or four-footed basket with a raised base.  From there\, using natural and hand-dyed reed to provide contrast\, students will weave up the sides in a pattern which creates 13 spirals around the basket.  Hand-shaping techniques will be stressed\, allowing students to produce a beautifully proportioned piece.  Along with weaving instruction\, Barbara will lead a discussion on\, “The Nature of Numbers”\, a talk on where the Fibonacci sequence exists in nature\, including numerous examples.

SUMMARY:Turning Chair Parts
DESCRIPTION:The one element missing from so many chair making classes is the spindle turning skill necessary to make legs\, stretchers and arm posts. Join instructor David Abeel to make working on the lathe a new part of your skill set. David will provide cherry\, walnut and maple blanks for students to choose from. Turning tools\, mark up\, head and tail stock considerations\, turning a diameter\, basic safety considerations\, different chair leg styles and sourcing for good turning blanks will all be covered. Class outcome will be 11 turnings: 4 legs\, 3 stretchers\, 2 arm posts and 2 back posts. Immediately following this class will be a three-day Comb Back Windsor Armchair class where students will find a home for each of their chair parts. All skill levels welcome.

SUMMARY:Sightseer (Medium) Pack Basket by Linda Scherz
DESCRIPTION:The Adirondack Pack Basket is one of the most recognized objects associated with the Adirondacks. These versatile baskets were used to carry just about everything the guides\, hunters and trappers took with them into the woods. Create your own pack basket patterned from the traditional Adirondack Pack Baskets. The Sightseer pack is a great size for teens or adults.\n     The first day students weave a plain weave base with the pre-cut spokes and then weave the sides. Linda will be guiding students as they concentrate on shape\, creating a belly while learning to continuous weave. The main weaving will be done the first day. The baskets will sit and dry overnight. On the second day\, students will pack the baskets tight\, level the top\, weave a false rim\, cut and tuck spokes\, and fit the rim to the basket and lash the rim. A leather handle will be put on pack and an adjustable webbing or leather harness secured with skids. Linda will guide you and teach you many tips and techniques. Students will be using a drawknife and other sharp tools. The instructor will bring all materials to make the basket. Baskets will not be stained during class. Approximate dimensions: 8.5″ x 11″ x 16″ high.

SUMMARY:Shaker Oval Nesting Boxes
DESCRIPTION:One of the most iconic items of Shaker woodworking\, nesting oval boxes share elegance\, simplicity and functionality equally. Using carefully prepared thin strips of wood each participant will carve the “swallowtails” of “fingers” on one end before soaking them in a hot water bath to soften for bending.

Each student will construct five nesting oval boxes from cherry wood in this two-day workshop.
