Master Your Pour Mentorship Circle

Whether you are just starting to experiment with milk texturing or you have been pulling shots for a while but cannot quite nail that rosetta, this mentorship circle is designed to help you level up your latte art. We are getting together in Warrington to share techniques, troubleshoot common frustrations, and practice our pours in a relaxed, hands-on environment. It is a space for learning through doing, where we can look at what is working and what is not without any pressure. This event is open to anyone interested in coffee craft, regardless of your current skill level. The goal is to learn from each other, share tips on machine handling, and pick up some practical skills that you can take back to your own kitchen or workspace. If you have been looking for a way to refine your pouring technique alongside a few fellow coffee enthusiasts, please join us. If you think you can make it, please RSVP so we have an idea of numbers for the machines.

Lunchtime Clay Workshop

To attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/lunchtime-clay-workshop/) August 27, Noon CLAY is everywhere! Really. Clay is in the soil, and in some places, you can find a high percentage of quality clay. Look at the abundance of pots and bowls and dishes that the indigenous peoples of the American Southwest have produced. It’s amazing. At this class, you will work with raw natural clay dug from the local hills. Once you collect the clay, you test it to determine how pure it is. Sometimes you add temper, sometimes not. Next, you do some sort of processing, and then set about making a useful product. You will learn the ways to process clay, and we will be doing one of those methods. You will process clay, and attempt to make a useful item from the clay. (We won’t do any firing.) You will take home whatever you make. A great opportunity to get outdoors and learn another survival skills August 27 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm $30.00 – $45.00

FORAGING WALK — WILD FOOD OUTING

To attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/ethno-botanical-walk-2/) WILD FOOD FORAGING AND ETHNO-BOTANICAL WALK The lost art of foraging for one’s meals is experiencing a renaissance as we are seeking to learn the uses of the many wild plants growing everywhere. Learning about some wild foods imparts a feeling of self-confidence. You can use wild foods and wild herbs in times of need, or just because you want to add these nutritious foods into your daily diet. Join us for our outing where we explore the edible, medicinal, and other useful qualities of many of the plants found in the environment with many introduced plants. Both natives and non-natives will be seen. This will be leisurely and you will get a chance to taste some of the plants. We will introduce a few basics of systematic plant identification, and ways you can take your own records. We’ll also bring up another important point: Many of the wild plants that we see — and especially the non-natives — can be easily cultivated in your own yard for ease of harvesting. Also, we’ll tell you about some of the local native plant nurseries where you can obtain native plants — such as toyon, ceonothus, oak trees, mulefat, elder, etc — and grow them in your own yards, which is an ideal situation. Wear comfortable footwear and bring water. Bring a bowl for eating. This class can be credited towards the Ethno-botany certificate. Directions sent upon registration. $65 (Seniors and students $45).
