Workshops are one-day intensives that teach a particular skill (e.g. knitting), or provide valuable information about a topic (effective home management). All materials are included in the price of your workshop! **Workshops will be scheduled when they fill.**
This workshop is worth the price of membership alone. A full day workshop with information and ideas on how to create your own family-centered lifestyle. Day begins with a talk about how we came to live this way, how we make it work, and what we've learned. Following our talk, we'll take questions - a great opportunity for skeptical dads to get their questions answered! Included are strategies for organization and time management, balancing work, education, and family. You can live a totally family-centered life! COST: $50 per couple. Limit of 15 couples.
You'll learn by doing how to create a beautiful floral arrangement. Taught by a floral designer trained in both American and European styles. Children old enough to safely handle floral knife and/or pruners through adult are welcome. Each workshop will address a different style using seasonal materials COST: $36, materials included.
Headcoverings are practical, beautiful, and - for some cultures and faiths - required. Each workshop will feature a different headcovering and technique from simply trimming a finished hat to making a pretty topper 'from scratch'. Some will require previous skills, others will be easy for the complete novice. Snoods, knitted hats, sunbonnets, hoods - even creative headwraps! We might even sneak in the ocassional men's hat... COST: $36, materials included.
