Four days of handcraft can be the beginning of a passionate relationship that will last a life time. Immerse yourself in craft step-by-step at North House during this unique four day course with Jim Sannerud. On day one you'll turn simple ale bowls concentrating on form and thickness. Day two will focus on knife skills by making a butter spreader and learning about how to add food safe colors to your project with Milk Paint. Days three and four will allow you to develop more turning skills by making more bowls. In the afternoons practice your knife skills by making a spoon or spatula and add carved decorations to your bowl. On one of the days you'll also head into the woods to harvest materials for use in some projects, and draw a direct connection between tree and craft. Four full days of craft, stories, laughter and undoubtedly some new friendships… a truly wonderful immersion. Optional evening activities and film screenings will enhance the session.
