FROM THE EARTH
From the Earth will offer a variety of attractions, including flower and vegetable gardens, tours of an organic dairy farm, creations from clay and wood, a perennial plant sale, a bird walk, and even a stroll through the woods.
Five neighbors located in the rolling hills 2 miles from the center of Alfred are offering what they have produced from nature. At the MacCrea family Locustbrae Farm at 1664 Waterwells Road, Debbie MacCrea will offer perennial flowers, and Alec MacCrea’s charming woodcarving studio and gallery of Celtic-inspired designs will be open. Sean Hyland, a fine furniture maker who uses primarily local wood, will also have a display.
At 1530 Randolph Road, Linda Huey will be displaying her leafy pottery designs in a sugar shed at the end of a path through her flower and vegetable garden. A short woodland path leads to 1516 Randolph Road and the abundant flower gardens of her neighbor, Chester Galle. Find Wendy Webb there at 11:00 am with an activity for children making hollyhock dolls. Down the hill at 1444 Randolph Road is Sunny Cove Farm, a small organic dairy farm run by the Snyder family. They offer all certified organic products including exceptional quality raw milk and beef. One hour tours of the farm will be lead at 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm, and 4:00 pm ($5). At 4981 McAndrews Road, Mary Lu Wells will share her flower gardens. She will give a woodland garden talk at 3:00 pm. And at 5471 Lake Road at Foster Lake, Betsy Brooks will give an informative bird walk at 5:00 pm.
From the Earth celebrates our connection to the land in meaningful, creative, informative, and sustainable ways. We hope to inspire and encourage local community-based endeavors that include agriculture, gardening, crafts made with natural materials, and appreciation of the natural beauty found in farm or forest. This event is part of a post-industrial movement that looks toward a future of collaborating with the earth in healthy renewable ways, as well as enjoying nostalgia for earlier times when we lived more closely to the land. In this, "buying local" becomes essential, supporting all that can be produced in the Alfred area from the earth with a labor of love

Workshops
Teaching workshops at my studio 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.
On Saturday and Sunday, August 8 and 9, I will be conducting a two-day workshop, A Path of Ideas: Handbuilding Nature Forms at Wesleyan Potters in Middletown, CT. This workshop will be about idea development in clay, using nature forms as a source of inspiration. Information is available at http://www.wesleyanpotters.com/workshop.shtml#P101
