Up!skilling Sessions
Up!Skilling sessions are short introduction demonstrations and an opportunity for participants to ‘dip their toes’ into a new skill, craft, or trade. Learn the basics of a new skill from local experts that can be applied at the household level. Examples from years past include:
- Straw hat weaving
- Spinning yarn
- Natural beekeeping
- Seed saving
- Cycle repair
- Knot tying
- Soil fertility & organic amendments
- Rain gardens: home storm-water management
- Growing Shitake mushrooms on logs
- Heritage Kitchen Skills: dried fruits, canning, freezing, root cellars, herbs, oils
We’re still looking for Up!Skilling session hosts! We’re eager to hear what you have to share with others! Apply below:
