About the Course
Immerse yourself in the essence of craft and the handmade life by learning to carve beautiful and functional tools you can use everyday. This timeless and storied skill allows us to build a bridge between the landscape that sustains us and culture of everyday life using simple tools, renewable resources, and creativity.
​
With the exception of our expedition programs, most of our courses are hosted within a 30 mile radius of Charlottesville, VA. The diverse nature of our programs is best served by a constellation of sites that includes both public and private land. To protect the safety and privacy of our host site partners as well as the safety of our participants, we do not disclose the addresses or coordinates of our sites online. Upon registering for a course — or no later than 2 weeks prior to its start date — all participants will receive details and directions to the public, pre-course meetup location, from which we will caravan to the host site.
