Thanks to Gabriel Pliska of Frisch Farms and VACS for leading the session. Some superfood highlights included: Yarrow Kale Swiss Chard Lemonbalm Lupine Calendula Lovage Chamomile Echanacea Garlic
A small but brave group of us met for the first workshop. Working with the tool is tricky at first. Some of us muscle it through the wood, others go with the flow of the wood grain. Some even use the wood's knots for inspiration, such as the little critter.
