Eastfield workshops 2005 In this unique program, master tradesmen, who are also experienced teachers, conduct a series of one-day workshops in which participants take up the tools themselves in order to learn more about them and their use. In many of the workshops participants produce objects to take home. The work day consists of two three-hour sessions from 9-12 and 1-4 with an hour for lunch. which is provided each day.

Also included are two tavern dinners cooked in the traditional 18th century manner over open fires - an experience not to be missed.		 Eastfield workshops 2005
