On October 16 I’ll offer eight people a two hour stroll (10:00 to 12:00) through the stonework that has ensued over the past five years at our home and gardens here in South Toe Valley. I have laid up dry stone walls, stone paving and pathways, and stone steps. This has become my swan song in a career spanning 36 years as a dry stone mason, recently retired. I have three books published on stonework and I’ve led more than a hundred workshops and presentations. A $10 donation is requested, which will go to Thrive Appalachia. Contact me at my email address above.

Join Stan Andersen for a demonstration & hands-on workshop, Mastering Maiolica, September 21st-22nd from 10am-5pm
Maiolica is the historical term used to describe the decorative technique of brushing colorful stains on top of an opaque, unfired white glaze. The outcome resembles water color on a ceramic surface. It is a process that was first developed in the Middle East to imitate Chinese porcelain. Throughout the weekend, students will learn the process, take a field trip to Stan’s studio, and more.

Self-massage and stretching create MOVEMENT in the body. When your blood/lymph are flowing freely, your body can heal and regenerate itself. Massage tools are SO helpful! Buy some here! Movement also creates blood flow. Get out and exercise in nature!
The foods you eat are also obviously very important to create FLOW in your body. Some “foods” are thick, sticky and adulterated by human greed. Some “foods” are not even foods at all! Learn how to eat naturally here.
