HERITAGE MAKER WORKSHOP SERIES
Explore new skills from bird carving to native gardening in a Heritage Maker workshop at Cumming Nature Center!
Our workshops are designed to create a supportive space for talented teachers and craftspeople to share traditional knowledge through fellowship and intensive instruction. Classes are relaxed, informative, and recognize the value in heritage skills and knowledge-building. Past classes have included spoon carving, blacksmithing, food preservation, pysanky, and more.
