Thanks to a recently awarded Arts Presentation Grant from the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism, Motherhouse had Joe Brien, Lost Arts Workshops, lead a day long workshop on building saw horses. Seventeen people attended and nine pairs of sawhorses were built. Each building team had their own set of hand tools, materials, and a workbench. We learned woodworking skills, enjoyed a wholesome pot luck lunch, and had a few laughs! The grant, which supports Motherhouse's Old Style Life Skills Series, also allows Joe to teach two more workshops - one on building a cow stanchion and the second on building a milking stool. Read more about these workshops on the Motherhouse web site.
