Sampler will be held on Thursday, July 27th through Sunday, July 30, 2017, at Historic Eastfield Village, in East Nassau, New

completing a small project related to the craft. The program includes making domed wooden boxes; carving fish decoys;
crafting iron utensils in the blacksmith shop; decorative painting ; molding, painting and firing 19th century pearl ware plates
in the pottery; rigging with pulleys, levers and gin pole to move heavy objects; and black power shooting. Each project is led
by an experienced tradesman. Seating is limited so classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. More information can
