FUNCTIONAL CRAFT

These workshops and classes are held Monday evenings.  n the second Saturday of every month.  If you miss one this year they will be repeated the following year or it maybe available in a workshop party.  Each class time is 8:30AM - 11:30PM and is $35.00 if you register ahead of time.  The exception is the Beehive Class and the Burbsteading workshop.  In the Beehive Class you will build your own top bar beehive to take home at the end of the class and the class and the hive are $150.00.  The Burbsteading course is a 3 week online course where you will learn how to design our own suburban homestead using permaculture design principles.  From plat to finished design, you will complete the three weeks with plant and project lists, a design by you, as well as a plan to implement the design and an online community for support.   The Burbsteading workshop is $150.00 and workbook is included. 

Every class is designed to be a step towards family homestead and simpler lifestyle.  The workshop will have some  "Make and Take" aspect to it and would be perfect for a parent and older child (11+) to take together.  You learn more if you "do" and will have a better chance to for future success.  At the soap making class, you take home soap, The dairying class you will milk, in the Kitchen Culture Workshop, you choose a culture of your choice, ginger bug, sourdough kombucha etc.  Herbal Class you bring home a salve, or tincture, the garden classes will have rooted cuttings or seedlings to transplant and honey or wax ...you get the idea ;)
