Umiak Building and Folk Craft Skills Share This January help our community bring a 24-foot umiak to life. Plus, learn nearly everything you wanted to know about folk craft and primitive skills.
January 4-8, 2010 For 5-days we build a boat and share skills. In the heart of Sellwood this affordable skills share is unique because you can bus, bike or walk to it. Along with building the umiak, we also share primitive and fine folk craft. From fire by friction to leather crafting and sewing, from tracking to winter tinctures and teas, this is the place where community comes together to teach one another the skills vital to rebuilding the village.
