In this immersive\, seasonal program\, you’ll experience traditional farming and food-making skills step by step – right down to a fresh\, handmade pizza created from your own flour. In April Instructor Martin Macica will introduce you to Annie\, his gentle plow donkey\, who will help us prepare a plot of land on the AFS campus for planting wheat seeds the old fashioned way. In May\, Instructor Patricia Goldberg will teach you how to plant a pizza garden in raised beds\, choosing herbs and vegetables that will later top your pizza. Return to the field in August with Martin to harvest your wheat and learn how to bundle and store it for drying. Finally\, in September start your day with Martin\, who will teach you how to thresh your wheat and grind it into flour. Then meet Instructor David Riihimaki\, our pizza maker extraordinaire\, who will guide you through mixing\, kneading\, and shaping your pizza dough from your freshly milled flour. Add your garden toppings\, some local cheese and watch it bake in our wood-fired oven. Then enjoy your farm-to-table pizza feast together!

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:Hall Runner Floorcloth
DESCRIPTION:Come and create a beautiful hall runner floorcloth (5″ long) to enhance your home. You will learn to cut stencils or refresh your cutting skills if you have done it before. There are many techniques to learn that can be used along with stenciling to enhance your final creation. In the end you will have a unique and functional piece of art that is one-of-a-kind! Please wear old clothes. Janet will provide glue guns\, but if you have your own you are welcome to bring it and she will provide the glue sticks.

SUMMARY:Electric Welding: Guillotine Tool
DESCRIPTION:Guillotine tools are handy for a variety of tasks. They enable the Smith to accurately butcher\, fuller\, forge and tenon stock. This helps with tasks like joinery\, as well as isolating material when forging work like a knife tang\, rivet or tenon. In this class the student will learn to use a MIG welder to make and use a useful guillotine tool that can be used in an anvil hardy hole or vise\, as the student selects. A basic set of 3 dies including butchers (isolating material)\, tenon dies\, and flat dies are included. Skills covered include learning to cut\, grind\, and case-harden dies\, and to do simple MIG welds to fabricate an accurate tool. This tool uses readily available mild steel for the dies\, so specialty dies can be easily and cheaply made when needed.

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.
