Gift Cards available! If you’re looking for a gift that won’t clutter up the house, and provides both empowerment, and an unforgettable experience…
There are also a couple of one-day workshops for all demographics taught by Daniel Giddings on Knife Sharpening and Basic Wood Carving Skills (June 6th and August 8th) and Knife Sharpening and Kitchen Culinary Knife Skills (June 7th and August 9th) in the Colorado Springs area that sound like a lot of fun. The classes run $115 per workshop, just reach out if you’d like more information, he’s got mad skills and is a nice guy! I’d go but I’ll be teaching in Vermont and then Jamestown respectively!
Shew! That’s what’s on the shelf for now! As always, classes ebb and flow so we’ll let you know when classes are added!
Walk in beauty, be the change, and if you just can’t in the moment forgive and be kind to yourself. We’re on a big rock flying through a seemingly infinite void together, just try to enjoy the ride!
Your heart-sister,
Jessie
