In the shade of the trees and around the fire, we’ll learn a variety of nature-inspired crafts using materials we forage, cultivate and recycle. Students will gain confidence in themselves as they expand their skills and exercise their creativity. Over the fall season, we’ll try our hands at coppersmithing, woodworking, fiber arts, basketry, pottery and more. Hiking through our 100 acre wood here at Corylace Cove, we’ll gather vines for making baskets, plants for printing on our clay pots and bark for making cordage. Students will spend time in our metal shop learning to hammer copper into beautiful trinkets, treasures and adornments like bracelets, pendants and ornaments. We’ll also learn basic wood carving skills and knife safety to create things like spatulas, forks, spoons and walking sticks. On warm days, we’ll cool off in our creek and on cold days, we’ll practice our fire-tending skills and fire crafts such as making charcoal pencils. Each day we’ll work on one craft project and spend time playing nature awareness games and connecting with the forest, as wildcrafters love to do!
Tuesdays from 10 am to 4 pm - September 15 to December 15 with breaks the weeks of October 20 and November 24
Ages 6-10
$720 for the 12 week series
