An introduction class on how to harvest and craft with roadkill deer. Participants will be shown visual examples on how to differentiate salvageable from unsalvageable deer. We will also discuss road safety, roadkill salvage permits, and utilizing as much of the deer as possible. 

We will then go on a guided roadkill drive. Depending on how many attendees arrive, another person may be asked to drive. Volunteer drivers will be provided with detailed maps. We will examine every roadkill deer we pass, in order to determine if the animal is salvageable or not.

In this class, you will learn how to start your project by working into a slip knot to make a circle and how to increase to make a circle. You will learn an advanced level, a naalbinding stitch, and how to count stitches. We will make a small basket.

You can bring your own supplies of wool yarn that felts, worsted to bulky weight, and a naalbinding needle. Needles and yarn are available for an additional $25 if needed.

Many teens see blacksmithing in moveis, video games, and online and become curious about this timeless trade. Tillers offers a two-day blacksmithing class specifically for young people ages 12 to 16, accompanied by a parent. This beginner class introduces teens to the fundamentals of the craft: fire tending, shaping, heat treating, and more. It is also a wonderful opportunity for a parent and teen to spend time with each other! 

Ticket price is for 2 participants.

This two-day workshop gives you the opportunity to build two brooms from start to finish. We start both brooms the same by wrapping a core onto a handle. After that we will finish one with woven stems and the other by plaiting with basket reed or with cut corn stems. Then we will stitch them to finish. Beginner – advanced class.
