Experience Glass Project
While visiting the artist's studio, you learn the process of blowing glass, and basic glassblowing techniques including taking a gather, marvering, blow'n-cap, and shaping glass. The workshop is very hands-on, focused on the process instead of the final product. With experienced glass artists, you make 2 to 3 small objects such as a paperweight, ornament/float, and/or drinking glass, to take home. Glassblowing is a team work. We strongly recommend to experience this with another person. If you are solo, you may still book a spot. However, the single booker should expect to finish earlier. Best to wear a cotton top and cotton pants. Open-toed shoes are not allowed. Please bring a pair of sunglasses with you. Be prepared to be hot and sweaty, and to have fun! BYOB if you like. We can be flexible. Feel free to reach out to us to schedule a specific date and time or a private group if you don't see it on our calendar. Other things to note... Your pieces will be ready to be picked up in 24 hours. Shipping available with additional fee.

Old-Growth Tree Climbing On Lopez Island

Learn how to make a bamboo fishing rod
A fly rod is built in the same way that bamboo grows. From the bottom, or butt, to the tip. You will remove a node from a 12' culm of Tonkin bamboo, using a small hack saw, as the first step in seeing how a custom 8' node-less fly rod is made. Then you will split one of 72 splints needed to form the tip or butt of the rod with a hammer and knife. You will scarf one splint to shape it for gluing. Fancy planing, shaping the cork handle, and silk wrapping will be demonstrated along with the final varnish dip. At the end of the class you are invited to cast a variety of rods that I have made with a casting lesson on the "green river" of my lawn. In 2 hours you will see how the rod is made but you will not build a completed rod -- my first rod took me 100 hours. Other things to note Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. If you have a favorite fly reel that you want to try on a finished rod bring it along.

Medicinal/Edible Plant Walk
*Please reach out with any questions or to request special needs, accommodations, requests for younger children, or a different time or day. I will take guests around a small area in the town of Red Lodge, Montana or nearby and introduce them to wild plants! Many people think of these as weeds or simply wildflowers, but they have amazing medicinal qualities that I can share. There’s nothing quite like getting to know your backyard, urban, and forest plants and these are common all over the country as well as other countries. We will slowly walk around the neighborhood or forested area or maybe where your own Airbnb accommodations are while I ask questions and make sure the walk and talk is touching on desired subjects. I want guests to leave with knowledge they didn’t have before and appreciate how abundant these helpful plants are - for medicine or simply to make a healthier and more delicious meal. Other things to note: This is not a hike. We will walk slowly and for less than a mile. Very flat and easy. Bring water if it’s hot or a rain jacket if it looks like it may rain. In addition, as I was a wildlife biologist for many years, I can tailor your experience to include more conversations about the local wildlife.
