Summer Fun for Young Crafters ages 9 and older
All Young Crafters days include visiting and feeding the animals on the farm! Fee includes all materials except where noted. The crafts that are brought home are only the finished product – the very lasting part of your experience is the skills you learn and the feeling of accomplishment of making things with your own hands.
Soap Pouring and Card-Making – don’t worry, Mom, no dangerous lye here! Choose a mold and melt your glycerin or goat’s milk base in the microwave. While it sets up, we use special papers to create a greeting card! 2 hours, 2 projects $20 Thursday, July 11 9:00 – 11:00 am
Candle Making and Stamping – choose your container from our shelf, and fill it with your homemade candle! While the wax is cooling, we work with stamps and papers to create your own greeting card! 2 hours, 2 projects $20 Monday, July 15 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Sewing for Young Crafters – basic “getting started” skills of choosing and cutting fabric, sewing on a machine, and sewing by hand. You will go home with a bean bag that you made! 3 hours, one project, all materials and instruction provided $25 By appointment, please call
Knitting for Very Beginners – bring a skein (that’s a hank, a ball or a neatly-wrapped cylinder) of pretty worsted yarn (that’s a term you’ll find on the yarn wrapper) and a pair of knitting needles, size 8 or 9. You will get started on a scarf to wear next Fall! 2 hours each night, 2 nights, $25 Tuesday, August 6 and Wednesday, August 7 6:00 – 8:00 pm each night

by prior arrangement only Sewing for Brand New Beginners $15/person
We have the sewing machines- or bring your own and we'll teach you how to thread it and use it! Every person chooses fabric from our huge selection of cotton and cotton blend patterns and solids. After pinning and cutting out the squares, s/he will use a sewing machine and stitch around three sides. Then little plastic beanbag beans are funneled inside and the fourth side is hand-stitched closed. Get out to the yard and let's play the "corn bag" tossing game! Taught by Lynda Becke.
All materials and instruction are included.
Group rates are available for home school classes and Scout troops. If Scout troops are working toward a badge or Try-It, please alert us so we can make sure we cover the details you need!
by appointment only Sewing - Private lessons $20/hour
Wear your own creation! Make a quilt! Make clothing for your children, decorate your home, or just learn what to do with that machine that's just sitting there collecting dust. Lessons are taught in our second-floor crafts room or in nice weather - in the barn classroom. Your machine or ours - you don't need to own one to take lessons. Teachers are experienced seamstresses, having sewn men's trousers, wedding dresses, lined jackets and Quilts! We will help you choose patterns and fabrics or work with the ones you bring. Call for your first lesson!
