Two classes in one!

Make a gourd basket. Perfect for a gift or to keep for yourself. Gourds will be pre-cut. Students will need to clean gourds, sand, and drill holes. Then we will sew white pine needles to the rim. We will be able to pick from a number of stains to finish the gourds. Gourds are around 4-5” in diameter. During this class, we will also go over the basics of making pine needle baskets. This is another great class to learn a skill for life.

Also learn how to make your own birch bark basket. We will head into the woods to identify trees, learn how to collect the bark from down trees, how to process the bark, and finally how to make a basket.

Create your own small accordion book using simple materials like paper, glue, and thread. Students will learn the technique of folding paper into a continuous accordion structure and explore creative ways to decorate and personalize their books, experimenting with various designs, colors, and embellishments. By the end of the class, everyone will have a unique, compact book to display or fill with sketches, stories, or photographs. Perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike, this workshop fosters creativity and introduces a timeless bookbinding technique.  Students should bring a $10 materials fee payable to the instructor.

Nature journaling is a creative and reflective practice that involves observing the natural world and recording your experiences through writing, drawing, and sketching. In this class, students will be introduced to watercolor journaling, capturing nature on paper using pen and ink and watercolors. We’ll first spend some time honing our drawing skills and learn about the properties of watercolor painting. Then we’ll work in our watercolor journals sketching and painting the natural world around us. Students should bring a $10 materials fee payable to the instructor.

Perhaps you know about Chakras, those little energy centers in your body that work to keep you physically and emotionally healthy… or maybe it’s all new to you and you’ve only heard the term and have limited knowledge about them.  As a Pranic Healer and certified instructor, I want to help dispel the mysteries!  In Chakra and Energy balancing 101, we’ll discuss just what these energy centers are, what their jobs are for your physical and emotional health, what happens when they’re not functioning at their optimal level and more importantly - we’ll do a ½ hour guided meditation to actually clear and balance those chakras out!

Learn techniques to repair and transform worn items into unique, functional pieces. Using colorful threads, patches, and embroidery, we'll explore the art of visible mending, fostering a mindful approach to reusing and recycling fabric. This hands-on experience encourages patience, self-expression, and environmental awareness. Whether you're a beginner or skilled crafter, bring your favorite items in need of repair and discover how mending can bring new life to your wardrobe while promoting a conscious, eco-friendly lifestyle. 

Do you pay attention to the animals that show up in your dreams, meditations or even your waking world? Curious to what messages they might have for you - or how to unfold the meaning and message in the moment?  Ever wonder if you have your own personal animal spirit guide? Want to know how to incorporate their messages and energy into this crazy journey we call life. What about nature totems (those guides or beings who aren’t animals in the science world)?  Along with a great discussion, class will include a guided meditation to see what animal spirit or nature totem might be in your midst and also what message they have for you. Possible guest instructor with Angie that night!
