Practice modern and traditional blacksmithing techniques in an authentic 19th-century blacksmith s shop. A small class size will allow for differing skill levels and project-oriented instruction. Materials and tools will be provided. Students will be taught all the steps for making a coopered bucket and should be close to completion after the two days.
Enrollment is limited to four students.
All materials and tools will be provided. Learn the art of cooking over an open hearth. Participants will learn cooking methods such as baking, roasting, frying, and boiling, as well as how to use the specific utensils required to cook over an open hearth or in a beehive oven. Everyone is involved in the preparation of the meal which takes place in the kitchen of the Buckingham-Hall House, an 1830 s farmhouse, and then sits down together amid the savory aromas of baking bread and roasting meats for a sumptuous candlelight dinner. Participants will receive a course booklet which includes cooking instructions and recipes to take home.
