Wildlife Education Workshop (12+yrs)
“The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is offering four outdoors programs in February at the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education in Transylvania County.
The events, which are free, are open on a first-come, first-serve basis and pre-registration is required.
* Feb. 4 – Leader Building from 9 a.m. to noon. Open to participants 12 and older. One often overlooked aspect of fly fishing is the leader. This workshop covers why different leaders make fly fishing more effective. Participants will construct their own leaders -both furled and hand-tied.
* Feb. 5 – Fly Section 101 from 9 a.m. to noon. Open to participants 12 and older. Participants will spend the morning with Pisgah Center staff learning the basics of various fly patterns, including when and how to use them. Discussions will include nymph, emerger, dry fly and terrestrial flies.
* Feb. 17 – Fly Tying for the Beginner from 9 a.m. to noon. Open to participants 12 and older. Participants will learn the basics of fly tying during this introductory level class. They will work at their own pace to tie a basic pattern. Equipment and materials will be provided.
* Feb 19 – Advanced Fly Tying: Tying Nymphs from 9 a.m. to noon. Open to participants 12 and older. Nymph fishing is an effective tactic when there are no fish rising and is one of the most common fly-fishing techniques used today. This course will teach participants how to tie a variety of mayfly, caddis and stonefly patterns for subsurface fishing techniques.
The Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education is located near Brevard, just south of Asheville, by the Davidson River in Transylvania County. The center features nature trails and five large aquariums representing aquatic mountain habitats. The center is adjacent to the Bobby N. Setzer State Fish Hatchery, where trout are raised in 54 raceways. The center is open Monday through Friday from December through March and Monday through Saturday from April through November. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

The Crafty Historian
“Crafty Historian events are held on the third Saturday of most months from 10:30 to 12:30.
Reservations are required by Thursday prior to the event so that we will have enough supplies for everyone.
Each event includes an educational, art-focused activity that stimulates creativity and interest in traditional crafts.
Children 9 and older are welcome to attend without a parent (although parents are most welcome to stay and assist), and younger children must have an adult to help them.
There is a minimal charge for each program based on the type of craft for the day. These events are wonderful opportunities for both parents/grandparents and children to experience history in a fun and interactive way. “
Oct 19th: Paper Quilling … Come join the Crafty Historian and try your hand at paper quilling. Quilling is the art of curling strips of paper into interesting designs. The craft got its name from from the way paper strips were curled around bird quills (a feather’s center backbone). Colonial artists decorated candle holders and tea trays with pretty quilling.We will practice with strips of paper and then create a work of art! Best for ages 8 and up. The craft requires working with small pieces and glue. Limit of 12 participants. $5 per participant.
.
Nov 16th: A Crafts Hodge-Podge … A hodge-podge is defined as a mixture of different things. It’s time to use up lots of leftover craft supplies and this sounds like just the thing. Some crafts I have all the supplies for many things, but crafters are welcome to bring things that you want decorated with beads, sequins or decoupage. Be prepared for a bit of confusion with lots of things going on, but it will be LOTS of fun!! This might be the last Crafty Historian since our resident Crafty Historian will be resigning as of Nov 30 – so if you’ve been a fan of these events, this is not one you want to miss! Only $5 per crafter!
