SUMMARY:Mountain Gathering Basket
DESCRIPTION:This basket is woven on a pre-stained round oak base\, and employs continuous chase weave to build the sides. Students will learn the process for determining the number of spokes needed for continuous weave\, and be challenged and excited to watch their baskets grow with two weavers. Students make their own leather handles in class\, which incorporate into the rim. This rustically graceful and functional basket is woven on a 6″ base which grows into a 12″ diameter basket. The basket measures 10” high at sides.

SUMMARY:Jayne's Mistake
DESCRIPTION:The origins of this basket are unknown but lean heavily on the traditions of Cherokee patterned weaving. This is Beverly’s variation on a pattern by Lyn Siler. If you have extensive weaving experience and are looking for a challenge\, this is the class for you! The patterned weave will require concentration and determination to weave successfully. The base of this basket is twill woven with the patterned weave sandwiched between more twill woven rows. Students will use natural reed spokes with dyed weavers for the patterned rows to help them see the pattern as it develops. Dimensions are 13″ x 13″ x 3 1/2″ plus handle.

SUMMARY:Sheepsfoot Knife and Marlin Spike with Sheath
DESCRIPTION:In this class you’ll learn to forge a knife featuring a sheepsfoot blade with a paracord wrapped handle\, crafted from mild steel and hardened using super quench. The sheepsfoot blade\, known for its straight edge and rounded tip\, is ideal for clean controlled cuts without the risk of accidental punctures- perfect for slicing rope or working on confined spaces. You’ll also forge a marlin spike; a pointed metal tool designed to separate rope strands and untie stubborn knots. It’s an essential tool for sailors and anyone who works with lines\, and it’s especially useful when splicing multi-stranded ropes. To complete the set\, we’ll make a belt sheath from vegetable-tanned cowhide\, custom-fitted to hold both tools securely. This practical combo is a must-have for nautical enthusiasts and outdoorsmen alike.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Chip Carving
DESCRIPTION:This course will introduce students to the traditional craft of chip carving – a type of woodcarving in which a small knife is used to incise decorative floral and geometric designs into basswood or butternut.  The design is created by the removal of small pieces (chips) of the wood. Chip carving is an ancient\, traditional craft. Chip carved plates\, jewelry and keepsake boxes\, trays\, breadboards\, furniture and other items can make wonderful gifts and also decorate the home with traditional motifs. Some previous carving experience is helpful\, but not necessary. Students will learn to carve a variety of practice designs already drawn on a board and may complete a round ornament as well.

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:Introduction to Scroll Saws
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this course is to introduce the student who is interested in pursuing the hobby of working with the scroll saw to produce scroll work art for themselves. Their family\, and their friends. The student will be introduced to the mechanics and the safe operation of the scroll saw. Students will be introduced to the many different saw blade types and cutting characteristics of each blade type to help in their selection of a blade for a particular piece of work. Additionally\, students will receive instruction in three different methods of transferring a pattern to a piece of wood. Following this instruction\, students will practice preparing the saw for safe operation followed by practicing the different movements required to successfully follow pattern lines while cutting a piece of wood. At the completion of the class\, students will have completed a simple cat puzzle and a snowflake trivet using both exterior and interior cuts to remove material from the puzzle and the snowflake.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Chip Carving
DESCRIPTION:This course will introduce students to the traditional craft of chip carving – a type of woodcarving in which a small knife is used to incise decorative floral and geometric designs into basswood or butternut.  The design is created by the removal of small pieces (chips) of the wood. Chip carving is an ancient\, traditional craft. Chip carved plates\, jewelry and keepsake boxes\, trays\, breadboards\, furniture and other items can make wonderful gifts and also decorate the home with traditional motifs. Some previous carving experience is helpful\, but not necessary. Students will learn to carve a variety of practice designs already drawn on a board and may complete a round ornament as well.

SUMMARY:National Curriculum Level 1
DESCRIPTION:The National Curriculum offers a step-by-step progression through three levels of fundamental blacksmithing skills. Certification signifies that a smith has demonstrated mastery of a specific set of skills\, increasing in complexity with each level: Level I (beginner)\, Level II (intermediate)\, Level III (advanced). Level I is the first level of the curriculum and is designed as a guide through beginning blacksmithing techniques. Starting with safety\, Level I then moves into core skills and techniques\, including tapering\, bending\, forging and heat-treating hand tools\, punching and drifting\, basic blacksmithing math\, forging to dimension\, forge-welding\, and creating tenons. It culminates in a final project\, the Gate Latch\, designed to test the student on these skills. Upon completion of Level I\, students will have confidence in the most essential blacksmithing skills and be able to forge a wide variety of projects. The program is designed to provide a solid foundation within the craft. To earn certification\, the student needs to successfully complete the projects and techniques as outlined in the checklist in the Level I Student Packet. This is found on the website abana.org The checklist allows students and instructors to keep track of progress. ABANA will accept the recommendation from an Affiliate?s Education Program Chair or the judgment of a Certified Level I Instructor that qualifies a student as having passed Level I.
