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.

SUMMARY:Pizza Knife
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on class\, students will craft a 12″ dual-handled pizza knife designed for precision and durability. Students will start by firing up their coal forge\, and then shape their blade from a single piece of mild steel. Once forged\, the blade will be hardened using a super quench process to ensure lasting strength. Students will grind their knives to a razor-sharp edge\, ideal for slicing pizza with a smooth rocking motion. Inspired by the traditional Eskimo Ulu knife\, this versatile tool also lends itself to tasks such as fleshing animal hides\, making it both functional and historically rooted.
