Beautify Alstead together! Chase's Mill is partnering with the Beautify Alstead group to build flower boxes for the town's bridge. In this workshop, we will assemble and decorate wooden flower boxes to be mounted on the Alstead Village bridge over the Cold River. You will see your creative handiwork every time you drive over the bridge this summer! This is a free event, and if you choose, each participant will have the opportunity to build and plant a smaller wooden flower box to take home. For this there will be a small materials fee. This is a fun opportunity for adults or families. No experience necessary.

Registration is required as space is limited.

Laura Andrews learned woodworking from her grandfather in his basement workshop. But it was "Woodworking for Women," taught through Keene Community Education by Gail Grycel, where Laura learned about power tools and other building skills. Laura now lives in Keene and is the University Director of Institutional Advancement at Antioch University.

Ann Acheson, in the first year of the Mill's programs, took Woodworking for Women from a great crew of instructors including Laura. She has been practicing her skill set ever since.
