The new RIBA class at East Farm

The East Farm school completed its second week last night and the room has been filled to capacity with 45 attentive and enthusiastic students. The classes have been enjoyable and informative under the leadership of volunteer instructors Mark Robar of Trail's End Farm, and Louis Chasse of Arson Alley Apiary.

For last night's gathering RIBA member and one of this year's presidential candidates, Everett Zurlinden, assembled a power point presentation to accompany Mark's lecture. Louis donated his materials and expertise and led the students in a hands-on frame-making demonstration. It was so much fun to watch the students work with Louis that Everett documented the session with these photographs taken on his mobile phone.

Beekeepers Celeste and Ed have also generously offered their assistance during the classes, too. And it's been great fun to see them there!
