Beginning blacksmithing instruction for beginners or folks who need a refresher from 10am - 1pm each day. Learn the basics and make a simple project like hooks, steak turners, bracelets, etc. using supplied materials. With your morning registration, ($45), you are welcome to stay and watch the afternoon forging. To hammer the whole day, you can also sign up for a spot in our open forge in the afternoon from 2pm - 5pm ($25). Afternoon smiths bring their own steel or purchase at cost from the club. We will run both coke and propane forges. Feel free to bring tools.

In November, 2024, Donivan Johnson, a regional music teacher and composer, had the premiere of one of his compositions, "Arise, My Love," performed by the Oratorio Society of the University of Maine at Bangor. The May 18th event honors Johnson's contribution to the music found within the north Pend Oreille County as a teacher at the Selkirk School District for 26 years, a private music instructor and composer. A campaign reception is followed by the presentation of the video of the concert. This event is tree to the public, but a donation to the Cutter Theatre Scholarship Fund is appreciated.

This community gathering invites nonviolent, intersectional, and interfaith meditation and reflection practice. The theme for this month will be Artistry.

The program adapts Cole Arthur Riley's Black Liturgies: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Staying Human (Penguin Random House | Also: Black Liturgies on Instagram) into a type of spiritual “liturgy” that draws quotes and insights from Black intellectuals, ancestors, authors, and mentors. It also features some short passages and reflections from the book itself.
