MIDDAY GOURD WORKSHOP
Thu, Oct 1, 7:00 PMTo attend and for exact location, Register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/midday-gourd-workshop/) Thursday, October 1, Noon to 2P LEARN THE ART OF CREATING A CUP, BOWL, PLATE, OR SCOOP FROM THE HARD-SHELLED ORNAMENTAL GOURD In this mid-day class, you will take a dried gourd and learn all the steps to turning it into a beautiful and functional plate, or bowl, or canteen, or even a scoop. We’ll bring the tools you need, but if you have saws, files or rasps, bring them. It’s not that hard to make a good functional gourd. We used to each make one before a week at Dirttime, and then if we cut it just right, we’d have a dish, and a bowl. Bushcraft skills? Survival Skill? Whatever you call it, it’s a great skill, and a great opportunity to meet with like-minded people. $45 ($30 students/seniors) Please register to attend and for location. Hahamonga Watershed County Park is our field office, the class may be in a different location.

FIBRE-CRAFT 101
Sat, Sep 26, 5:00 PMTo attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/lunchtime-fibre-craft/) Saturday, September 26, 10 a.m. FIBRE-CRAFT 101: The Art of Turning Plant Fibres into Bags, Baskets, Nets, String, Sandals. We’ve had some requests for a BASKETRY Workshop. This class will include Basketry basics, though this class will not be only basketry. The art of working fibre is nearly a lost art. You’ll learn to recognize some of the common plants which yield a useful fibre, and learn how to work them into strings, and baskets, and nets, and sandals, and more. In the old days of the Southwest, the lives of the people were literally tied together with fibre: for shelter, for clothing (hats, belts, shoes), fishing nets, bags, weaponry, fire-making, brushes, looms for fabric. In the past, most people had a more intimate connection to plant fibres. There are so many practical applications, though today someone makes everything we use. So it’s become a lost art. You will learn how to process a few plant fibres and how to make them into a usable product! We will do a short walk (if time) and learn about some of the plants that are useful for weaving, and making cordage. You will then learn by making some of the useful products. Along the way, you’ll also see many of the other useful and edible plants of the area. NOTE: PLEASE RSVP SINCE WE NEED TO PLAN TO BRING SUFFICIENT SUPPLIES! $65 (Seniors and students $45)
