SUMMARY:Adirondack Pack Basket Making with Barbara Green
DESCRIPTION:Join Barbara Green of Adirondack Green House Basketry for an Adirondack Pack Basket making workshop.\nParticipants will weave a full-sized Pack Basket\, approximately 18” tall. They will make their packs in the same manner as original packs were made using reed rather than black or brown ash. The top of the basket is finished with a riveted handle before applying the rim. \nSolid wood skids and an interior wooden base hold the harness in place. There will be a selection of harness colors to choose from. \nThe basket and wooden components are to be stained at home. When dried\, the harness\, skids and base are applied. Barbara will show how to do this at the workshop. Stain instructions are included in the handout. \n\n→All materials (except stain) and tools will be provided.\n→Participants are welcome to bring food\, drinks\, and snacks for the day.\n→Museum admission is included in the workshop fee. (Please note that basket completion takes about 8 hours.)\n→Comfortable shoes are recommended.\n\nSpots are limited\, and this workshop often sells out. Early registration is recommended. \n  \nBarbara Green: I discovered basket weaving as a hobby in 2007. While never very crafty\, this called to me. I found something that brings me peace\, yet challenges me regularly. Weaving allows me to be creative while creating something that is functional. Having spent most of my life in the Adirondacks\, I find it important to know the history of the iconic Adirondack Pack Basket\, and I find great joy in teaching others how to make their own. My baskets are made with reed rather than black or brown ash like the original pack baskets. Reed is highly renewable and durable. I learned on very basic tools and teach the same way. All necessary tools and materials are always included in my workshops. My harnesses are made by me\, and the bases and skids are made from scrap lumber by my husband.

The session also offers a brief look at the historical and contemporary importance of lanterns. \nAll materials (except light) and tools will be provided. \n\n→Participants are welcome to bring drinks and snacks for the day.\n→Museum admission is not included but can be added to the workshop fee at a reduced rate.\n→Comfortable shoes are recommended.\n\nWorkshop is for participants 12 years old and older.

Her work incorporates imagery and objects to bring attention to environmental concerns and inspire proactive responses. Her experience as a forester taught her to observe both the large-scale and subtle details of forests and to act in ways that support their well-being. This ongoing relationship between the living forest and her artistic creativity has shaped her practice for many years. Carol’s art offers a unique perspective\, encouraging curiosity and thoughtful questions.

SUMMARY:Working All the Angles Photography Workshop with Carl Heilman II
DESCRIPTION:Join Adirondack photographer\, Carl Heilman II\, for a daylong photography workshop that will help inspire you to explore a range of shooting options to expand your photographic creativity.\nThe day will begin with a morning classroom discussion where we’ll cover camera setup options plus details and questions about the basic photography principles—exposure\, motion\, depth of field. Carl will also discuss photo composition and equipment and lens options to help folks more easily explore various shooting angles when on location. \nDuring the afternoon we will experiment with the covered techniques along with different ways of looking at subjects while going to various exhibits around the museum grounds. We’ll also walk the trail to scenic Minnow Pond as long as the weather cooperates. \nParticipants should bring along a camera\, tripod\, a variety of lenses and focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto\, close-up (macro) equipment they might have\, and perhaps a solid ND filter. There are no specific requirements\, but a larger range of equipment choices will offer a greater variety of creative shooting options. (For example\, in his standard camera bag\, Carl carries 2 DSLR mirrorless camera bodies\, a 14-24\, 24-120\, 70-300 zooms\, a 16mm fisheye lens for unique shooting angles\, extension tubes for close-up options\, and a variable solid ND filter.) \n\n→Workshop open to all abilities.\n→Participants are welcome to bring food and snacks for the day. Lunches may also be purchased at the Lake View Café.\n→Museum admission is included in the workshop fee.\n→All participants should bring their own drinks and/or water bottles for the day.\n→Sturdy walking shoes for the trails are strongly recommended.\n\nCarl Heilman is an internationally published photographer and author who has been photographing the Adirondacks since 1975. He started climbing the High Peaks on a pair of handcrafted snowshoes in the 1970s and continues to explore and photograph the mountains and lakes\, while pursuing his passion for portraying the unique beauty of the Adirondack Park –and sharing his decades of photography experience with others in his photography workshops and tours\, coffee table books\, and how-to photography books.
