This 5-week hearth- and homestead-based series introduces children to traditional handcrafts and foodways through activities such as tea, butter, and candle making, as well as flower pressing, and canning. Students will learn how to work around a real hearth fire and explore historic and seasonal practices through hands-on projects each week.Each class begins with a lesson connected to history, daily life, and traditional skills, followed by guided activities at the hearth and worktable. Students are encouraged to use creativity, observation, and decision-making as they experiment with natural materials, seasonal ingredients, and handmade projects.
Classes may involve ingredients such as herbs, flowers, fruit, dairy, or beeswax. Please highlight any allergies or restrictions when registering. Register at the attached link.

Cost: $200/student for the entire series. Individual class registration is not available.
All sessions begin in the hearth kitchen of the Crane House & Historic YWCA.
