THE FIELD HOUSE: FREE SUNDAY CLASSES

The Field House class on hand spinning fiber into yarn last week was fabulous. Not only did I have the chance to try my hand at spinning but I walked away with really interesting knowledge about the history of spinning and fiber. I love it when I learn about the process of how something is made and it gives me a new appreciation for the product of that process. I have a whole new appreciation for sweaters and the class left me wanting to learn more about fiber and yarn. Some pics of Amy Hale, educator and artist, showing us how it is done:

THIS WEEK'S CLASS:
PROPERLY AND EFFICIENTLY SHARPEN KITCHEN CUTLERY
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20TH

This class will teach you the proper and easiest way to sharpen your kitchen cutlery with the sharpener you already own and (believe it or not) by using a business card as a guide. Class will be taught by Cal Ledbetter, a member of The Field House clan. Cal's dad, a professional knife maker, taught him this trick. Sample knives will be provided.

Please do not bring your own knives to The Field House.
