1530 Randolph Road, Alfred Station, NY

To celebrate our connection to the earth in meaningful, healthy, and creative ways. All is from the earth with a labor of love.

Many of us long to experience our connection to the land in meaningful, healthy, and creative ways. From the Earth, to be held in Alfred on Saturday, July 26th from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm, will celebrate our collaboration with the natural world. From the Earth will offer a variety of attractions, including flower gardens, tours of an organic dairy farm, pottery and woodcarving, a perennial plant sale, natural dye demonstrations, and even a short walk through the woods.

Four neighbors located in the rolling hills 2 miles from the center of Alfred are offering what they have produced from the earth with a labor of love. At the MacCrea family Locustbrae Farm on Waterwells Road, Debbie MacCrea will offer perennial flowers, Debbie and Carol Wood will demonstrate how to make natural dyes with dye pots brewing all day, and Alec MacCrea’s charming woodcarving studio and gallery of Celtic-inspired designs will be open.

On Randolph Road, Linda Huey will be displaying her leafy pottery designs in a sugar shed at the end of a path through her garden. Potted garden plants will also be for sale. A short woodland path leads to the abundant flower gardens of her neighbor, Chester Galle. Down the hill from there is Sunny Cove Farm, a small organic dairy farm run by the Snyder family. They offer all organic products: exceptional quality raw milk, beef, and seasonally available maple syrup, apples, and walnuts. One hour tours of the farm will be lead at 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm, and 4:00 pm: $5 for adults, $3 for children, and under 5 free. (Space may be limited.)

All four neighbors are located within a 1 mile radius of each other in the rolling hills just 2 miles outside of Alfred.

Teaching workshops has become a natural part of everything else I do. It is wonderful to help people fall in love with clay and to find their unique ways of expressing themselves. Workshops in my studio are usually two days; the first for making and the second, a week later, for glazing. Each workshop has a different focus appropriate for any level of experience. Techniques are demonstrated, with emphasis on how historical or other references can be used for inspiration. Gift certificates are available for workshops.

These workshops are open to any level of experience. Techniques will be tailored to each individual’s ability. Clay, use of tools, and firing are included. Pieces will be fired after the class - to be picked up later. For additional information, please send an e-mail to lindahuey@frontiernet.net or call 607-587-9877.
