SUMMARY:Embroidery Basics
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will introduce (or reintroduce) students to the ancient art of embroidery. Participants will learn the basic embroidery stitches to create a reference template and then apply those skills to design their own work of art.

SUMMARY:Calligraphy with Turkey Quills
DESCRIPTION:First\, we will learn how to prepare walnut ink from the husks of local black walnuts. The black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) is one of North America’s most valuable and beautiful native trees. We will then learn how to temper and cut a turkey’s wing feather into a fine writing tool that we can use with the velvety smooth walnut ink to create calligraphy (beautiful writing!). For the calligraphy classes we will use a chisel-shaped felt pen and learn two letter styles – Gothic\, or blackletter\, and the Foundational Hand\, also using our black walnut ink. Other materials and uses will be demonstrated as well.

SUMMARY:Sharpening and Honing Blades
DESCRIPTION:Chasing the sharpest edge possible has consumed Howard’s time and efforts for the past 22 years. He started making knives in 1973 and has worked diligently to get blades of all types as sharp as possible with a repeatable process that can be replicated by other people. Over the years Howard has studied whetstones in museums around the world and amassed a huge study collection of rocks which have been used for various purposes by craftsmen around the world throughout time. All of Howard’s sharpening work is done under magnification and he has invented tools and processes for sharpening quickly and to a keen edge. At the end of this presentation\, students will have an understanding and hands on knowledge of: edge geometry\, types of steel\, heat treating\, natural and manmade sharpening stones and options\, and a better way to understand the intersection of blade steel\, heat treatment\,\nblade geometry\, stone type and technology\, and how it all works together.

SUMMARY:Mini Flowering Tree Embroidery
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, wherever there was wool and fabric\, there has been embroidery\, and the Adirondacks are no exception! In this class\, students will learn the fundamentals of crewelwork embroidery.

SUMMARY:Advanced Sharpening and Honing Blades
DESCRIPTION:This class expands on what is learned in our basic Sharpening and Honing Blades course and through individual efforts at the bench. It is more project oriented\, while expanding on types of steels\, testing\, technique\, edge geometry\, stones and other sharpening tools. At the end of this workshop\, you will have a deeper understanding and hands on knowledge of types of steel\, edge geometry\, heat treating\, natural and manmade sharpening stones and options\, and a greater depth of understanding of the intersection of blade steel\, heat treatment\, blade geometry\, stone type and technology\, and how it all works together. It is recommended that students have taken Sharpening and Honing Blades prior to this course.

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:Fire Building Basics
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever find yourself on a brisk fall hike or hunt where you could suddenly be wet from rain or fall into a creek? How about caught on a rainy day while camping? Starting a good fire isn’t a skill we practice daily like people did traditionally\, but it can be a lifesaving skill. Come learn the basics to make your fire starting practice perfect. In this workshop we will review different fire setups and safety measures focusing on igniting your own fire with a ferrocerium rod during our hands on portion. Participants will take home their own kits to practice with.

SUMMARY:The Beekman Pie Carrier Basket
DESCRIPTION:This basket was designed exclusively for the Beekman Mercantile in Sharon Springs\, NY. It features a large 12″ x 7″ solid bottom Shaker Cathead that\, when inverted\, forms the cover for this pie carrier. The base is a 13″ breadboard that will be provided. The instructor designed the component parts of the carrier to be used on a daily basis. The basket is for bread and fruit and the bread board is for cutting and/or serving. You need only store the handle (provided) and strap until ready to use as a pie or cake carrier. Students will weave the solid bottom base using a Shaker technique. The basket will then be pinned to a mold (provided) for weaving using a chase weave technique. Students will also learn to rivet leather to assemble the straps. The handle assembly will be provided. The finished size of the basket is 13″ x 8″ (without handle).

SUMMARY:Traditional Herbal Practice: Wildcrafting-Plants of Spring
DESCRIPTION:As the wheel of the year turns\, the delicate greens emerge. The plants of spring allow us to “lighten-up” from the comfort foods of winter. 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 greens for the purpose of nourishing our bodies in and out. In this course we will discuss the Celtic festival of Beltain as well as the essence & traits of spring. Reflecting how these show up in our personal lives. We’ll harvest and then take our bounty into the classroom for making preparations in harmony with what our bodies are yearning for. 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 spring classes we’ve made: Wild Plant Pesto\, Violet flower butter\, Plant infused Oil for topical use\, Salad Dressings. Please inform us ahead of time if you have any allergies.

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.
