Service Description
Date: Sunday, December 8 Time: 10am- 2pm Location: Pasadena Ages: 10 & up unless accompanied by a parent Cost: $70 OR one 6-pack class Instructor: Chris Morasky Join us for the art and science of firecraft! This immersive class uncovers the secrets of building the perfect campfire, transforming your outdoor experience into a nearly smoke-free symphony of flames, warmth, and camaraderie. We begin with the ancient techniques of friction fire, learning the bowdrill and handdrill methods to produce an ember. You’ll also learn how to select and prepare the proper mix of fine and coarse plant materials to make a tinder bundle which we’ll use to grow the glowing ember into a flame. Learning how to start a fire in the old way will make you an expert whenever you’re fortunate enough to have a match! We’ll then gather and evaluate various kinds of woods. Say goodbye to the annoyance of smoky campfires and hello to the magic of a well-crafted blaze. Around our campfire, we’ll play Fire Chess, a unique experience where you'll learn to strategically manage sticks in your campfire. Unravel the secrets of fire dynamics and the fire triangle – heat, oxygen, and fuel – in a fun and interactive way. Optimize your burning experience, and witness how a well-tended fire can transform your outdoor evenings. The Art of the Campfire isn't just about creating fire; it's about understanding the dance of flames, the alchemy of wood, and the science behind a smoke-free, vibrant fire. Our class culminates in the serene glow of embers and ashes, a testament to the new competence you've achieved in the art of crafting and maintaining the perfect campfire.
