Join us for this very special workshop with hatmaker Cate Havstad of Havstad Hat Co.
During the course of this two day workshop you'll learn about hatmaking traditions while crafting your own custom hat from 100X beaver felt. Each student will go home with a hat built entirely for their own head including a custom leather hatband.
Preserving the bumper crop of Imnaha tomatoes & the bounty of summer 2018,
students will spend the day outdoors, learning safe water bath canning techniques.
After a full day of chopping, peeling & processing, students will leave with jars for the kitchen pantry.

leading students through the process of constructing a simple frame loom, learning primary weave structures & techniques, then diving into the creation of a willow floor mat.

Prairie Mountain Folk School has partnered with Cabin Love to offer this 8-day course on how to build a 16x20 Japanese style timber frame cabin. Instructor Tom Bonamici will lead you from layout, through cutting joinery, to raising your frame. You'll learn the skills to build your own little place in the woods and take home a set of Prairie Mountain (and Cabin Love) approved cabin plans. This one’s simple, without all the frills, just like a cabin should be. Want to take the cabin home? At the end of your 8 day course, students will have the chance to buy the frame you built together. Please note that no experience with woodworking or tools is necessary.
Food and lodging not included, course limited to 12 students
Join Juniper Ridge founder, Hall Newbegin, as we explore the hidden corners of Wallowa County, then return to Joseph to create a one-of-a-kind Wilderness Perfume. We'll engage our animal senses, thoughtfully foraging natural elements on the trail, developing a story for our aromatic adventure. Then, we'll learn a simple distillation process to transform our plant matter into perfume. Participants will leave with a portrait of our day in a bottle and a greater understanding of fragrance as an expression of place.
