SUMMARY:SketchUp - An Introduction to Computer Aided Design (CAD)
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on SketchUp Pro class will introduce the fundamentals of 3D modeling for design and build applications. Participants will learn how to navigate the interface\, use essential tools\, and create accurate\, organized models that communicate ideas clearly and effectively. \nWe learn for the sake of doing at the Rockbridge Creative Institute so you will have the opportunity to bring your sketchup model life. \n\nATTENTION \nUnder Virginia law\, there is no liability for an injury to or death of a participant in an agritourism activity conducted at this agritourism location if such injury or death results from the inherent risks of the agritourism activity. Inherent risks of agritourism activities include\, among others\, risks of injury inherent to land\, equipment\, and animals\, as well as the potential for you to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to your injury or death.

SUMMARY:Blacksmithing Tools
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on blacksmithing class introduces students to the fundamentals of forging hot steel using traditional tools and techniques. Participants will learn essential shop safety\, proper hammer control\, and how to work efficiently at the forge while shaping metal through heating\, drawing\, bending\, and finishing. \nThrough guided instruction and practical projects\, students will gain an understanding of material behavior\, tool use\, and the forging process from start to finish. The class emphasizes craftsmanship\, accuracy\, and workflow\, helping students build confidence while developing real\, transferable skills. \nDesigned for beginners and those looking to build a strong foundation\, this course provides a supportive\, shop-based learning environment. By the end of the class\, participants will have completed forged projects and gained the knowledge needed to continue exploring blacksmithing independently. \n\nATTENTION \nUnder Virginia law\, there is no liability for an injury to or death of a participant in an agritourism activity conducted at this agritourism location if such injury or death results from the inherent risks of the agritourism activity.

SUMMARY:Hide Tanning & Leather Working
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on leatherworking class introduces students to the tools\, materials\, and techniques used to create durable\, functional leather goods. Participants will learn how to select and prepare leather\, safely use essential hand tools\, and practice core skills such as cutting\, marking\, stitching\, and edge finishing. \nThrough guided instruction and practical projects\, students will gain confidence working with leather while developing an understanding of craftsmanship\, accuracy\, and design. The class emphasizes both traditional methods and practical applications\, making it accessible to beginners while still valuable for those looking to refine their skills. By the end of the course\, students will leave with completed projects and the foundational knowledge needed to continue leatherworking independently. \n\nATTENTION \nUnder Virginia law\, there is no liability for an injury to or death of a participant in an agritourism activity conducted at this agritourism location if such injury or death results from the inherent risks of the agritourism activity. Inherent risks of agritourism activities include\, among others\, risks of injury inherent to land\, equipment\, and animals\, as well as the potential for you to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to your injury or death.
