SUMMARY:Soapmaking Class
DESCRIPTION:Come join Miss Jenny and Briar Stevens as you spend an honest day making old-fashioned Lye soap. Old-fashion in a sense that you can pronounce the ingredients and understand the process. We will make the one and only “Lye soap”\, a product that has stood the test of time. Lye soap does not need scent or colors to make it what it is. This all-day class will cover basic “hot process” soap making skills. We will render fresh hog lard down into cracklings and grease. The cracklings will be used for snacking and the grease for our soap. We will cook a large cauldron full of lye soap. Upon finishing\, the soap will be poured into special molds for each person to take home. Everyone will leave with soap\, a new-found knowledge\, and hopefully a love for the old-fashioned Lye soap so they can Wash…and be Clean!\nhttps://www.foxfire.org/shop/soapmaking-class/

SUMMARY:Cordage/Glue Making Class
DESCRIPTION:The construction of cordage and glue by first communities likely represented a significant leap forward for humanity\, not unlike learning to make the first tools. Andrew Lee brings significant teaching and practical experience to learning these skills. Using materials easily accessible in the Southern Appalachian Mountains\, students in this class will come away with the knowledge and practice necessary to identify plants\, prepare and construct cordage. In the afternoon students will learn to make glue using pine sap\, charcoal and dried plant matter. This class beautifully can be paired with Flintknapping for acquiring some of the Cherokee/First People’s expertise/skills.\nhttps://www.foxfire.org/shop/cordage-glue-making-class/

SUMMARY:Mushroom Identification Walk
DESCRIPTION:Come join the fun as we meet at 10:30 to discuss common beginner edible mushrooms in Georgia and then walk the beautiful acreage at Foxfire Museum to search for wild mushrooms. We will discuss and identify any edible mushrooms we find and enjoy a great day in the beautiful outdoors.

Feel free to bring a snack- apples are great walking treats-and a water bottle is advised. Bug spray\, rain gear and good walking shoes also recommended.
