Come learn the fundamentals of traditional hand-stitched leatherwork. With simple, relatively inexpensive hand tools, you will learn how to source leather; design, cut, prick, burnish, condition, and hand stitch leather projects, from simple coasters to wallets, purses, satchels, and backpacks, all using the classic saddle stitch.

We had so much fun last year that we wanted to run this program again. Learn how to prepare and dry parsley with a dehydrator for winter storage. We’ll talk about other foods that can be dried and stored for winter as well. We hope you’ll join us!

After growing produce for the Community Cupboard, Dale still has lots of beautiful purple cabbage left over. Join us at the GRACE and let's turn that cabbage into sauerkraut! We'll clean, chop, and start the fermenting process. After the Nov. 12 class, we'll monitor the cabbage and, when it's ready, meet again to do some canning!

In this class, Chuck will share his love of sailing and navigation by teaching you how to find out where you are on the ocean using the sun, a sextant, and some tables. Materials will be provided. For math skills, all you need to know is basic addition and subtraction — no higher-level math required.
