---------------------------
The MCA recognizes the accessibility limitations of our old building. Restorations efforts that address accessibility are on our radar for future renovations. For the time being, if you have accessibility needs please contact montgomerycenterarts@gmail.com with a description of your access request at least 24 hours prior to your visit so that we may arrange accommodations to assist your attendance. We want all community members to have the privaledge to enjoy access to the arts, and will do our best to support your needs.
Local expert and outdoors-specialist Elliot Cluba will be offering a series of workshops at the MCA this season that include several FREE for the community. Elliot is the owner of Herbs and Arrows. He is a wilderness and primitive skills instructor, holistic health coach, herbalist, and martial arts instructor. He has been teaching children from ages 4 - teenagers, as well as adults for 15+ years. 6 of those years were spent offering homeschool education to his own children and the local community in the Champlain Valley of VT. He is originally from the great town of Montgomery, and currently lives in Enosburg with his wife and two daughters.
Family Fire Skills
Sunday, April 7th from 2 - 4:30PM
"It is my opinion that fire should be taught and revered even before an intro to the ABC’s. This class is geared toward a family setting. We will go over several different techniques to safely wield fire, including a one match fire without paper, flint and steel, char cloth, tinder bundles, and how our ancestors carried embers in polypore mushrooms. All skill levels and ages are welcome.
We’ll end with fire related stories around our fire."
Cost: Free
All ages welcome though class is geared toward young adults and up.
Pre-registration is helpful, though not required. Please click the link below to sign-up.
