SUMMARY:Vintage Sewing Kit Making Class
DESCRIPTION:In the 18th century\, both men and women often carried small fabric kits to keep sewing materials handy for domestic projects and inevitable necessary repairs on clothing. Useful and beautiful\, these sewing kits continued in popularity into the mid-20th century. \nAll materials will be prepared for participants to make their own sewing kit. Remaining examples of historical versions show a great diversity in design\, and you will have the opportunity to customize yours\, as well\, through fabric choices and personalized inclusions based on your needs and style preferences.  Each kit will also include a needle\, needle-threader\, basic thread colors on wooden spools\, and an assortment of pins. Small\, historically-inspired scissors will be available for $5. \nA basic knowledge of sewing is all that’s required to make this kit by hand\, however the instructor will have a sewing machine available to use for the sake of speed and ease. Participants can also feel free to bring their own machine\, as well.

SUMMARY:Community Square Dance
DESCRIPTION:Community square dances are attended by young and old\, couples and singles\, and anyone interested in getting out\, moving\, listening to live music\, and enjoying fellowship with others in the community.  Beginners are welcome\, and all dances are taught. \nWe invite people of all backgrounds and ages to enjoy an oral tradition passed down for hundreds of years. The Hickory Music Factory’s “Old Time String Band” and a dance caller will lead you throughout the evening. We will primarily draw upon the traditional social dances of America. \nJourney into the past and learn square dances\, step dances\, reels\, and other dance forms practiced in Southern Appalachia. These distinctive folk dances are the culmination of the many heritages that settled in this region. Folk dancing today is built on the European\, African American\, and Native American traditions of our past\, but they are very much alive in the present. \nYou can help bring them to life by attending this inter-generational dance. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All ages are welcome\, and no experience is necessary. \nIf you play an instrument and want to experience performing old-time music\, please contact Liam Bailey from the Hickory Music Factory at liam@liamthomasbailey.com.

SUMMARY:Learn Sewing: Market Bag Class
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make a historical carry-all and the best grocery bag you’ll ever have! This tote style is modeled after the common\, historical “Market Wallet” of the 1600-1800’s. These bags are rectangular with a central opening and can be made by hand or with a machine. \nThis class is perfect for those who have a machine and want to learn how to use the two most common stitches for beginner projects. By making this bag\, you will gain experience with sewing straight seams\, finishing seams\, and top stitching. \nA basic knowledge of hand-sewing is enough to construct this bag without a machine. You can make a historically-accurate market-wallet\, suitable for living history events\, by using a running stitch and backstitch.  The instructor will demonstrate period-correct felled seams\, French seams\, and how to do a narrow “rolled” hem by hand. \nMaterials will be provided to make a historically accurate wallet in linen. If you’d like to make a colorful\, modern version instead\, bring 1-2 yards of 100% cotton quilting fabric or medium-weight linen and matching thread. Again\, while this is a great beginner hand sewing project\, the instructor will have a sewing machine available and participants are welcome to bring their own sewing machine if they wish.

SUMMARY:Cultural Foodways: Slavic Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rich cultural foodways experience rooted in Slavic tradition. \nSouth Slavic foodways are deeply rooted in the land and the seasons\, shaped by centuries of farming\, foraging\, preservation\, and ritual. From hearty grains\, root vegetables\, and legumes to fermented foods\, fresh herbs\, and celebratory breads\, Slavic cuisines reflect resilience\, hospitality\, and the belief that food is meant to be shared. \nGuests will begin the evening by exploring educational stations that highlight traditional agricultural practices\, herbal knowledge\, folktales and oral storytelling\, folk art such as embroidery and painted eggs\, music and dance\, and spiritual or ritual traditions that often accompany meals and seasonal celebrations. These elements reveal how food is intertwined with daily life\, belief systems\, and cultural identity across Slavic regions. \nThe evening will feature chef Rilke Witherstine\, who will share her personal journey reconnecting with her Yugoslavian heritage through cooking. After an introduction to the Cultural Foodways series\, Rilke will lead a hands-on kitchen demonstration inspired by communal Baltic cooking traditions\, where many dishes are shaped\, filled\, or assembled together. Guests will be invited to participate in a series of simple\, guided steps before enjoying a shared meal. \nThe night concludes with a family-style dinner and an open Q&A\, providing an opportunity for conversation about heritage\, migration\, memory\, and how food serves as a powerful bridge between the past and the present. \nIn collaboration with Hickory Soup Kitchen.

SUMMARY:Community Square Dance
DESCRIPTION:Event: \nCommunity square dances are attended by young and old\, couples and singles\, and anyone interested in getting out\, moving\, listening to live music\, and enjoying fellowship with others in the community.  Beginners are welcome\, and all dances are taught. \nWe invite people of all backgrounds and ages to enjoy an oral tradition passed down for hundreds of years. The Hickory Music Factory’s “Old Time String Band” and a dance caller will lead you throughout the evening. We will primarily draw upon the traditional social dances of America. \nJourney into the past and learn square dances\, step dances\, reels\, and other dance forms practiced in Southern Appalachia. These distinctive folk dances are the culmination of the many heritages that settled in this region. Folk dancing today is built on the European\, African American\, and Native American traditions of our past\, but they are very much alive in the present. \nYou can help bring them to life by attending this inter-generational dance. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All ages are welcome\, and no experience is necessary.
