Instructor: Carol Reed
Ages: Teen to Adult
April 20, 2024
Time: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
Fee: $30 member ($35 non-member) + Materials Fee $20

Celebrate Earth Day by creating a pair of socks and 4 upcycled napkins dyed in indigo. You’ll learn how to create an indigo vat and a little of indigo’s long history. While the vat is processing, you can decorate your textiles using Japanese Shibori (tie-dye and clamped resists) patterns. Please bring a natural fiber (cotton, linen, wool, silk) textile from home to dye too, either a t-shirt or something of similar size.

Dig into the basics required for beginning a herb garden with an introduction to some of the common and unusual herbs as well as all the requirements to achieve a successful garden. Everyone will leave class with lots of handouts and a little starter plant to begin your herb gardening fun.

Organize your creative chaos in the art of the random weave basket. In this workshop, you will learn how to identify wild plants in the local landscape and take them from the field and forest to a completed basket. Inspired by the structures of many a wild creature, this basket style can be one of the simplest and yet most complex constructions. Each person should leave with a basket either complete or far enough in the process to confidently finish at home. Tools: please bring a sharp knife or hand pruners if you have them, some tools will be available to use onsite.

Get ready to explore the bountiful nature around us and discover the delicious wild foods that can be found in our own backyard. Fox Haven’s Farmer, Lacey Walker, will guide you through the beautiful trails of Fox Haven, sharing her knowledge and passion for wild edibles. This hands-on experience is perfect for all ages, so grab your family and friends and get ready for a fun-filled adventure in nature. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to learn about and taste the wonders of the wild!

Appalachian Folk medicine considers springtime as a time to cleanse and detoxify our bodies after a long, sluggish winter of little movement and not as fresh a diet.  In this class, we will explore the herbs used in “Spring Tonic” teas and explore other ways to detox our bodies with baths, foot soaks, and flowery herb steam facials. Participants will each make a custom bottle of “Spring Tonic Vinegar” using herbs and roots discussed in class to take home. All supplies are included. Instructor: Susanna Reppert Brill

NYCHAPS is hosting a youth Archaeology Week for middle school students! Children entering grades 6th-8th are invited to register for this educational and fun week. The students will be conducting real archaeology under the leadership of local archaeologist, Jeri Jones and the York History Center’s Valerie Long, Manager of School Programs. This event will happen at the site of a prominent 19th century industrial leader’s homestead in Carroll Township, just east of the Borough of Dillsburg. (Since the archaeological site is on private property, the address will be given out only to registered campers.)

“Students will learn the various procedures in conducting an archaeological excavation, cleaning and preparing the artifacts for identification and report writing. The students will hopefully find pieces of the puzzle of understanding how residents lived in the mid 1800’s and, [specifically], how this industrial leader lived. You can’t get any more real than this,” according to Mr Jones. Ms. Long will also schedule a daily mini-program for the students that will be related to the area’s history.

The students must be dropped off and picked up at the site by a parent or guardian. Students must supply their own lunch and beverages. Registration is now open for the week with a limited number of spots available. Contact NYCHAPS office at admin@northernyorkhistorical.org or 717-502-1440 for application and medical form.
Member cost: $230/student; Non-member cost: $240/student
