Traditional Family Farmstead Skills With Andersen Thorp

Past event
Jun 17, 2017, 10 AM to 3 PM

DESCRIPTION:
In years past, families who lived on small farms purchased little and made many of the things they needed by hand. Andersen Thorp—national award-winning art teacher and co-founder of the Friends of the Morrill Homestead—leads this hands-on exploration into some of the crafts, skills and activities of yesteryear. From churning butter and making soap to the basics of basket-making, participants will get a taste of the handiwork that was the center of life on a small 19th-century family farm.
