Slow Oak

Our Summer schedule is finally here! Mark your calendars for a season full of plants and animals, and stay tuned for more info on upcoming workshops.

Also, we offer a huge thanks to everyone who came out to our first season of Slow Oak classes. We had so much fun and couldn't have done it without you! xo Our unofficial winter schedule is filled with spontaneous Knit Nights, Knot Hops, Tracking bops, and hot coffee. We love you. Stay tuned. Tell us what you want. Also, that picture is of Fen. He loves you too.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Rabbit Class! We had a great day processing our rabbits in the sunny greenhouse. Everyone did an awesome job skinning, cleaning, and being the coolest.

We had a great time at our Natural Dyes workshop yesterday! Thanks so much to all who came out and played with wool and color. Hope to see some of your own projects soon! And to anyone who missed it, stay tuned for a Spring dye class; we had so much fun, we might have to make it a seasonal event...

Thanks for all the interest in our Dye workshop! We are all full, but hope to offer it again in the spring, with a whole new palette of plants and colors!

Spoon Class was Awesome! We had a great time whittling spoons and chilln with a gigantic fire/eventual-huge-pile-of-coals.

Dear Friends!

We are excited to announce the grand opening of SLOW OAK, a pastoral and primitive skills school in Shelburne, VT lead by Sophie Cassel, Ross Dorée and Henry Webb. This fall we will offer courses that blend the skills of homesteading, traditional craft and naturalist studies. Our light-hearted, hands on workshops are designed for people of all skill level. We are excited to share these practices and to create a space where natural art and knowledge can grow and spread.

We invite you to any and all of our classes, which are listed below. And we especially invite you to our Grand Kick-Off: a Spoon Carving Potluck/Bonfire!

All of our classes are held at the beautiful New Village Farm on 700 Harbor rd Shelburne, VT. We hope that our proximity to Burlington and low tuition are inviting to those interested in working with the natural materials and landscapes that surround us. To further promote our mission of inclusion, each of our fall classes is offered at a discounted, sliding scale. So come over and join the good times!
