Community Craft (Passed)

We will gather to meet neighbors, work on craft projects together, and chat about this new Folk School! There will also be opportunity to learn techniques and skills for whittling green wood from both local and visiting seasoned woodworkers for the first part of the day.

This is a community skillshare event, our first ever as a Folk School in Quilcene! It’s also a fundraiser for this new project, so we are asking for a at the door for the classroom part of the day (10-2 PM). Drop ins are welcome for the open carve portion of the day (2-4 PM), and we welcome donations then as well.

Join us for learning, connection, and new skills!

INSTRUCTOR

From Philomath, Oregon, just below the shoulders of tcha Timanwi (now Mary's Peak), where the Kalapuya went to escape the glacial floods that made the valley what it is today!

“When I was ten, I started helping my mom with some of her art jobs, working with kids to make murals and demonstrating crafts. When she wrote a book called Making Things, I put together the index. She used to quote Aristotle: “what we learn to do, we learn by doing.” That’s pretty much how my life has gone, how I teach, and what folk schools are all about. I love helping people get started, but hands, eyes, heart, and materials do the rest. I’ve been building ovens and teaching natural building and green woodworking for a long time now! I also make and sell wooden wares for home and garden.”
