Although I cannot make it this time, I am now part organizer for monthly primitive skillshares at Tryon Farm. We are looking for teachers and students! All DIY skills welcome. If you would like to teach at this or a future gathering please send my dear friend Aspen a message: aspeneggiman (at) gmail (dot) com.
Time: August 7 at 10:00am – August 8 at 5:00pm
Location: Tryon Life Community Farm
9712 SW barbur blvd.
Portland, OR
Opportunities Include:
felting, fire by friction, tanning hides, herbal medicine, wild food, cordage, drop spindles, flint knapping, beekeeping, cheese making, book binding, trade blanket, kid’s activities, & back by popular demand…the kissing workshop!
this is a cocreated event – please bring your land-based skills to share! it is also an experiment in gift economy, though some kind of contribution is requested to support our hosts. it might be a monetary donation, volunteering to drive a shuttle shift, or really busting it to help us clean up.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
the skillshare goes from 10am – 10pm on saturday. there will be an evening fire and trade blanket. on sunday, it goes from 10am to 5pm.
bring food for the community kitchen! it would be especially helpful if you could dumpster some produce on your way over. skillshare participants will have access to a full kitchen but it’ll take the self-organization of the group to make meals happen.
you can ride your bike to the farm (11640 sw boones ferry rd.) but we don’t have any space for cars! park or ride the 12 bus to 9712 SW Barbur BLVD (TC Park & Ride). shuttles will bring you to the farm at 9, 10, 12, 4 & 5 on both saturday and sunday.
camping is available on saturday night but you MUST reserve a space. that’s a sliding scale of $5 – $25.
for more information or to volunteer to help (o you sweet, sweet friend), call aspen at 208 221 9536, aspeneggiman (at) gmail (dot) com, or tinder at 518 567 9044. check out the farm’s website if you’re curious: www.tryonfarm.org!
Score big at the trade blanket!
