What an amazing weekend of September classes! Folks learned how to weave baskets, carve spoons, make acorn flour, fix their bikes, woodwork, and more!


We had so much fun at our pizza potluck too, sharing what we learned and connecting with new friends over yummy wood-fired pizza. We want to thank everyone who participated in a class, as a teacher, learner, or pizza eater!

This Sunday is the Autumn equinox! As we celebrate this season of change, we embrace the cooler days and share the bounty of Autumn harvest with our friends, neighbors, and community.


Teachers and Steering Committee members are hard at work this week preparing all the last-minute details and logistics for our upcoming weekend of classes!
