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:Winter Landscapes & Waterways Photography Tour
DESCRIPTION:Winter weather\, snow and ice offer a wonderful diversity of moods for outdoor photography. Ice forms into an endless variety of shapes and patterns along lake shorelines\, streams\, and rivers that can be enhanced with a soft covering of snow. Snowflakes and ice provide great options for macro photography. With sunset at 5:30pm\, we’ll be working with golden hour light in addition to sunset color and afterglow possibilities. Spend a day photographing the beautiful winter landscapes in the southeastern Adirondacks with Carl Heilman as your guide and mentor. After meeting briefly at the Folk School for an introduction and to cover any initial questions\, the rest of the day will be spent photographing at several nearby locations. There are many beautiful winter vistas within a half hour of the Folk School to take best advantage of the dramatic winter landscape. This nature photography tour is designed for those who are already comfortable with camera basics such as the relationship between aperture\, shutter and ISO settings.

SUMMARY:Perfect Pictures Every Time
DESCRIPTION:Understanding photography basics is the key to taking control of your camera and knowing you got the shot when you were taking it.  If you would like to take your skill level from shooting in Auto to having full control over your camera\, this intensive class is for you! A step-by-step PowerPoint presentation helps teach the basic principles of photography including: camera options and set-up\, peripheral equipment\, image exposure and histograms\, and will touch on shooting for HDR and working with motion\, depth of field\, and composition.  The class is paced to allow time for questions and interaction\, with about half of the day in the classroom experimenting with the cameras\, and the other half spent in the field\, practicing camera techniques and shooting options.  A comprehensive handout will include all the major points covered in the presentation. While the class instruction is mostly landscape based\, these techniques and principles can be applied to all photographic situations.

SUMMARY:Balsam Valentines
DESCRIPTION:Adirondack indigenous people have long understood that the pitch from Balsam trees has medicinal powers. Early Adirondack campers would pile branches in their lean-tos for soft and fragrant bedding and Balsam stuffed pillows continue to be a favorite souvenir of vacations in the Adirondack Mountains. For Valentine’s Day we will hand stitch velveteen hearts\, stuff them with ground balsam needles\, then stitch beaded decorations.
