Historically many children, particularly in improvised or rural areas, did not have access to commercially produced toys, either because they were not sold locally or because their families could not afford to purchase them. Nonetheless, these children often did have wonderful toys to play with because someone in their family or immediate social circle was able to make toys for them. Participants in this course will have the opportunity to create one or two (depending on the complexity) children’s toys from wood and finish with a safe food-grade preservative. The instructor will provide several different templates to make animal or vehicle designs. Students can also bring their own ideas for designs. NOTE: Students should wear clothing that is suitable for working with paints. Students are also welcomed to bring their own tools for their Project. Adirondack Folk School, 51 Main St., Lake Luzerne. (518) 696-2400. www. adirondackfolkschool.org. COOKING WITH HERBS: Cooking with Herbs with Amy Cason. Friday November 22. 9am-4pm. Tuition $105. Member Tuition $85. Materials fee $45. Herbs can transform everyday foods into delicious meals! The difference between spaghetti sauce and plain old tomato sauce is oregano and a variety of other herbs. One of the simplest ways to use herbs is to add them to our food. How many herbs do you use in your cooking? We will take a look at the herbs most often used in cooking along with the importance of taste and techniques that enhance the flavor of our foods. We will taste individual herbs and discuss which herbs pair well with what foods. This will give students the inspiration and confidence to add them to any of their meals at home! The instructor will also bring something from her home to share with students. Adirondack Folk School, 51 Main St., Lake Luzerne. (518) 6962400. www.adirondackfolkschool.org.
