| What teachers are saying about this workshop: |
An amazing learning experience about 17th and 18th c life. Staff was incredible – great expertise, professionalism, humor and enthusiasm… I can’t wait to implement what I have experienced... The farm was a perfect setting... To be able to actually see and be surrounded by the period was powerful. The course has been so informative! I took a gamble on what it would be and I won! |
