Block Print Valentines
Aviva Pilgrim will teach the basics of carving and printing a linoleum block. Participants will start by drawing a design, transferring it onto the block, carving, and end with printing onto cardstock to create their own Valentine's cards. They will leave with their own set of carving tools, a linoleum block, and 10 cards and envelopes for printing their own design (or trading with others). Students can come with an idea or drawing or find inspiration in the class.
Sweet, Spicy and Hot--Chocolate
When Hernán Cortés arrived in what is now Mexico in 1520, he found the people of the great cities of the central valley drinking a luxurious, luscious hot drink they called chicolatl. Today, five hundred years later, hot chocolate is a worldwide favorite. Join us at Ozark Folkways as David Lee Holcomb shows us how to make a shelf-stable powdered hot chocolate mix from ordinary supermarket ingredients. We'll experiment with special flavors and talk about options for vegans and people with special dietary restrictions. Workshop fee of $15 includes samples of each flavor mix to take home.
