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:Seasonal Wild Tending
DESCRIPTION:In days gone by\, it was common practice for people living in wild places to tend the land which provided them with food\, medicine\, and shelter. It was a daily exchange of life between human and the natural world. In this introductory series\, we will explore the natural world and discover ways to more fully engage with her as she moves through each of the four seasons. In each class we will: create an outdoor (temporary) medicine wheel in order to deepen our understanding of the cyclical nature of all life: plants\, people\, animal/insect. We will also engage with/forage the plants which are available to us as we seasonally and learn how to transform what they have to offer into something we can use\, aka beneficial preparations. This class will be balanced with time outdoors for Wild Tending and indoors for hands-on practice of preparation techniques and extraction methods. Each class stands on it’s own. Together they create a synergy of seasonal attunement aligning your wild nature with the natural world around you.

SUMMARY:Nordic-Baltic Pick Up Band Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are an experienced weaver or just a beginner\, pick-up band weaving on the inkle loom is a portable\, satisfying\, and surprisingly easy way to create elaborate patterns with minimal equipment. The pick-up technique is used in many weaving traditions\, and the finished products can be made into bookmarks\, dog leashes\, instrument and purse straps\, and belts. We will focus on traditional Nordic and Baltic pick-up weaving using linen and wool threads. We will begin by getting familiar with the inkle loom\, practicing the basic weaving technique\, and learning how to read a pattern\, and then we will start working on our projects. Depending on how quickly you weave\, you may create a couple of bookmarks or a longer strap that can be used for a bag\, camera\, or musical instrument. On the second day\, we will go over warping the inkle loom so that you have the skills you need to do it on your own later.

SUMMARY:Hunter Star
DESCRIPTION:This block shines as a two-color quilt or becomes quite playful when designed as a scrappy quilt. You will create enough blocks to construct a 40? x 40? lap quilt\, wall hanging or table topper. The blocks created in the block party classes will be cut using the Acuquilt cutting system. This system improves accuracy in cutting and reduces the stress on your hands often felt while cutting large amounts of small units of fabric for the quilt blocks.

SUMMARY:Sharpening and Honing Blades
DESCRIPTION:Sharpening and honing of blades is a mystery to most people these days although our ancestors knew the skill intimately. Technology of honing has definitely improved over the past 100 years and there are many technologies to choose from. Howard will demystify the sharpening process and you will leave the workshop with the skills to sharpen your own blades. Students should bring one or two blades to hone for the class.
