It's Fall, so our woods are full of wild mushrooms, hundreds of species. A few of them are choice edibles -- chanterelles, porcinis, cauliflowers, lobsters. But how do you find them, and how do you know for sure what you're collecting?
This class is an introduction to finding, identifying and safely consuming local wild mushrooms. It will start with a Wednesday evening discussion, "How To Look at A Mushroom," and continue with a Saturday foray in promising habitat less than two hours away. We are sure to find mushrooms, but there is no guarantee they will be edibles.

* This class has prerequisites. Please see below.
Build an elegant wooden pie box with a punched copper top as you gain experience on tools in BARN's Woodworking and Sheet Metal studios.
In this three-evening class, you will use a table saw, chop saw and other tools to build a pegged box from cypress. You will also create a decorative punched-copper top, which will allow steam to escape as your pie cools, and a stainless steel drawer to hold the pie.
If you also register for the November Monthly Bakealong: Pumpkin Pie, scheduled for Nov. 26 in BARN's Kitchen Arts Studio, you'll be able to give your freshly baked pumpkin pie a ride home in style.
Instructors: Carol Fiedler Kawaguchi will guide the woodworking phase. Linda Sohlberg will head up the metalworking. Carol is a professional furniture restorer. Linda heads BARN's Sheet Metal Studio.

Join us to learn, work, and participate in a pleasurably designed evening, learning competent Tuscan cooking and some of the eloquent and subtle techniques of plating, table etiquette, flower arrangements, and appropriate music compilations. The evening is planned as a cultural event centered on the Tuscan lifestyle, focusing on selected regional food courses intermixed with discussions of significant historical gardens, and how terracotta is used as critical objects in the landscape as well as the kitchen.
The evening culminates in a traditional candlelit Tuscan long table sit down dinner with all enjoying the fruits of preparation, cooking, and learning. Guest will participate in preparing one or more of the evening's food courses:
Traditional Prosecco and central Italian white and classic Chianti wines will be available.

Get a head start on the holidays with help from a professional...as Chef Miles James demystifies making a turkey (or your bird of choice) dinner with all the fixings.
Each student will work with a mini-turkey (a chicken), to learn about brining, stuffing, trussing and cook times. While they roast, you will make stuffing, cranberry sauce and the perfect gravy. Once out of the oven, you'll learn how to carve your perfectly roasted chicken. You will take home a delicious meal, recipes and wine suggestions along with the confidence that you, too, can prepare the perfect holiday meal.

Nancy will also have a vegan pumpkin cheesecake to sample and will discuss ideas to alter some traditional favorites to make your holiday meal work for different dietary preferences.

Kick the night off with wine and non-alcoholic beverages, plentiful appetizers, and live music in our beautiful commons area, and the rest of the evening will be spent learning new skills alongside old and new friends in our artisan studios. When you arrive, you'll be able to sign up for two of the three activities offered: Gemstone Bracelets in our Jewelry Studio, Japanese Sashiko Stitching in our Fiber Arts Studio, and Entertaining with Fall Bruschettas in our Kitchen Arts Studio.
Go ahead - treat yourself! You deserve it.
The Magic of Gemstone Bracelets
More than just a piece of jewelry, these are bracelets with meaning that have the potential to transform your life by manifesting miracles! Want to know which stones are best for new beginnings, focus, positive energy, confidence, or attracting wealth? We will discuss the healing properties of popular gemstones and choosing stones that combine the energy and intention to help you achieve your desired outcome. Each person will make one personalized bracelet during this session to keep for themselves or to give as a handmade gift. Additional kits will be available to purchase at the event.
Japanese Sashiko Stitching
“Sashiko” is Japanese embroidery that uses little running stitches (“Sashiko” literally means “little stabs”) to create designs from nature and rhythmic geometric patterns. You'll take home a simple 4” x 4” pattern in white thread on gold, red, or purple fabric and then put it in a small frame. You’ll end up with a small work of art for your home or give as a gift!
This is a 21+ only event.
All materials, food and beverages are included in the registration fee.
