Save the date: November 7.

Once a year, we throw the doors open and celebrate the people who still know how to make things.

Woodworkers. Carvers. Builders. Fiber artists. Farmers. Traditional craftspeople. People keeping old skills alive — and passing them forward.

Our Celebration of Heritage Craft returns Saturday, November 7.

Demonstrations. Hands-on making. Music. Food. Farm animals. Really skilled humans doing really interesting things.

More coming soon.

A block of wood. A knife. A few quiet hours.

That's really all you need.

Spoon carving is one of our favorite gateways into woodworking because the tools are simple — but the skill can take you as far as you want to go.

Learn to read grain. Control a knife. Shape a useful object with your own hands.

And maybe discover your new favorite way to spend a winter afternoon.

Your next project might already be growing in your backyard.

A fallen tree can be more than firewood.

With a chainsaw mill, it can become wide boards for a table, shelves, siding, a workbench — lumber with a story you actually know.

This Sunday, September 13, we’re teaching Chainsaw Milling: how to safely set up and use a mill and begin turning locally available logs into usable lumber.

It’s practical. It’s physical. And it’s one more skill that makes you a little less dependent on buying what you could learn to produce yourself.

Chainsaw Milling — Sunday, September 13

Learn the tool. Mill the lumber. Make Something Real.

Some building materials actually make you want to touch the walls.

On September 19, Biolithic Builds joins us for Clay Plaster Fundamentals — an introduction to one of the oldest, most beautiful and wonderfully tactile ways to finish a space.

Earth. Sand. Fiber. Hands.

Natural building isn't about stepping backward. It's about remembering that humans knew how to create beautiful, durable spaces long before everything came in a bucket from a big-box store.

Come get muddy.

WE ARE CASTING FOR OUR FARM MYSTERY PLAY!!

We’re looking for playful, enthusiastic people who would enjoy becoming part of a magical Halloween farm story — characters, guides, strange farm witnesses, mysterious helpers, and other theatrical oddities.

No professional acting experience is required. You just need to be willing to have fun, commit to a character, interact with kids and families, and help us create something memorable for the community.

Audition dates include Sept 11, 5-9 and Sept 13, 5 - 9. Want to be included but can't meet those dates? No problem - send me an email and we'll find a time that works for you.
