Stories from the Mill: Shop Classes with Edith & Heman Chase

Where: Via Zoom (link will be provided via email)
Cost: There is no charge for the event, but donations are appreciated.

Please join us as A Sense of Place continues to explore the stories, history, and qualities that make Chase's Mill and Mill Hollow unique. This month, a few people who took part in those legendary Shop Classes taught by Edith and Heman Chase will reminisce about their experiences and share what they learned not only about woodworking, but also about life. Moderated by the Chase's grandson, Jonathan Botkin, we will also explore why we believe it's important to create similar opportunities and connections for current and future generations.

The event is free and is open to all. Feel free to invite your friends, but you need to register to receive the link to the webinar.

Jonathan Botkin, is a mechanical engineer who has worked on renewable energy for the past 30 years. In his youth, he spent much time in the mill with Heman, learning about water power, wood working, and even a little bit about land surveying. Jonathan lives in California with his wife and son, and three dogs.
