SOAPSTONE WORKSHOP
Thu, Jul 30, 7:00 PMTo attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/soapstone-workshop/) Thursday, July 30, noon Soapstone, also known as steatite, is a material that is soft enough to carve with your fingernails. Native peoples carved containers from soapstone, some quite large. They can be made into pipes, amulets, fish weights, anything you can imagine. We have not done this class in over 10 years! But we currently have a supply of soapstone and will have this two hour lunch class. Each person will get a block of soapstone and we will give you some ideas what to make from it. You can cut it into two smaller pieces, or make a bowl, a pipe, or a nameplate for your desk. We will not be using any power tools — only spoons, nails, hacksaws, pump drill, file, etc. Bring any such tools you might have. We also suggest that you bring gloves (such as dish-washing gloves), and a dust mask — the dust is fine and gets all over your hands and clothes and you want to avoid breathing it in. This will be at Hahamongna and you will be sent exact directions when you sign up. A $5 material fee is added to this class for the soapstone… Every one will sign a waiver for this class. If you’re working towards a Certificate, this applies to Bushcraft.

But it also means you’re a bit more prepared for disasters such as an earthquake, or a flood, or a fire. We will cover some of the basic elements that you should know in order to take care of yourself at home. This class is all about urban preparedness. We’ll cover issues about WATER and how to store water in Los Angeles County. What FOODS should you store, and grow. We will also show (and cook) some wild foods. We will share how to COOK in your backyard if you can’t use your indoor stove. We will address first aid only minimally — we suggest you take a Red Cross course. We will share TOILET alternative that is relatively easy. We will also show some of the alternate devices to ELECTRICAL devices. And we’ll talk about the notion of a “bug out bag,” and some common sense, such as the benefits of joining Neighborhood Watch, or starting one, if one is not active in your neighborhood. This class will include a short PLANT WALK to learn about edible and medicinal wild plants. Location sent with registration Books and products will be available for sale August 1 @ 10:00 am - 1:30 pm $45.00 – $65.00
