Letty had read about this school that teaches woodworking and traditional crafts, and always wanted to visit it. The school is located in rolling hills and made up of several separate buildings, residences for students, a campground for students, a dining room for students and a gift shop.
I visited the woodworking shop and basket and broom shop. A basket making class was in session, but I was able to talk to the instructor and learn a little about how the tradiitonal baskets were made from black ash split logs.
I also visited the woodturning shop and talked to a woodturner from Kansas who was taking the class there.
