Experience firsthand where the fibers used to make fine linen cloth come from! In this hands-on workshop, explore the history of flax from ancient civilizations to modern day uses and learn the steps involved in growing, harvesting and processing flax into linen fiber. Using flax grown at Gale Woods Farm, participants will process flax stalks into usable fiber with traditional hand tools and techniques. Take home your processed fiber to use in future projects of your own, such as spinning, weaving or crafting. Please note: This workshop involves the use of hand-processing equipment that requires caution and manual dexterity. Participants should bring work gloves and a face mask. $55/person.

Go back in time with your scout friends and try pioneer-style crafting. Create a hand-dipped beeswax candle, rolled beeswax candle and a yarn doll. Adult leaders are free of charge and required to attend to assist scouts. $15/scout.
