What one pair of hands can teach another.

About the workshops

Small in-person sessions where someone who knows a craft teaches it by hand: pottery, bookbinding, drawing, cooking, music, writing.

Making something real, in a room with people doing the same.

Teach a workshop

You do not need to be a professional instructor. If you have a creative skill you practice and a clear idea for sharing it with others, we would like to hear from you.

Possible workshops include

  • An introduction to pottery
  • Graphic design fundamentals
  • Drawing from observation
  • Bookbinding by hand
  • Everyday photography
  • Sewing and visible mending
  • Cooking a family recipe
  • Writing Place: Turning Local History into Personal Essay

Propose a workshop

Tell us what you would teach and who it is for. We will reply when the workshop program is ready to begin.

We read every proposal. Expect a reply once the program is ready.
