DANCING DOLLS & WALKING STICKS ( E L)
Walking and laughter are great exercise for the heart.  Participants in this class will learn the use of simple hand tools and a couple very basic power tools to create a beautiful laminated walking stick that will make hiking and walking more enjoyable, as well as create a Dancing Doll (Appalachian toy/Rhythm instrument) that will lighten the heart of the maker and those who watch it being played.  Participants will turn “sweat equity” into “pride in mastering new skills” in creating two useful, beautiful and joyful projects.  All tools and materials provided.  Come build with Bill Henderson, Larry Hall & Charlie Fliger.

RECREATIONAL DANCE    (E L M T Y)
This session will include basic instructions and hands-on experience on how to teach line, circle and square dances.  We will dance lots of dances and everyone who has interest will have time to lead/teach a dance or two to the class.  Music and instructions to many of the dances will be available to purchase at the BLW bookstore.  Barry Jolliff and Christy Leeds would love to dance with you!

STRIP T's QUILT   (E L T Y)
T is for Triangles.  We’ll cut some strips of fabric, sew them into strip rows, cut a few triangles and then play with multiple design possibilities.  The coloration, number of fabrics and quilt size are some of the creative choices for you to make! You’ll need one light and one dark fabric for each strip, but the contrast may be high, low or medium.  For example, choose one light fabric and then several shades of a second one.  The fun never ends with Edith Dyke!
