Our hands-on workshops range from making baskets from collected plant materials, making fire without matches, tanning animal hides, making soap or candles, creating a clay pot and firing it in the village, and at the beginning of December, holiday wreaths for your door! Each season offers different opportunities to learn new skills so look below to see what we're doing this year.
