Reconnect with the roots of craft, community and living knowledge.
October 3, 2026 at Clary Gardens in Coshocton, Ohio.
Step into a living classroom set among gardens and woodland paths, where elders and artisans share the time-honored skills, many our grandparents used to thrive on. Spend the day learning by doing—watching live demonstrations, joining hands-on mini-workshops, asking questions, and browsing a maker’s market of useful, beautiful goods. It’s a celebration of heritage knowledge, practical craftwork, and community learning—rooted in nature and designed for all ages.
