Weather permitting, we’ll start the day with a visit to the woods to discuss good bark trees and safety considerations. Then we’ll head back to the shop, where we’ll shave bark from a collection of hickory saplings.Bark is a traditional material for the woven-bottomed ladderback chairs commonly found within Appalachia. The bark, incredibly tough when dry yet flexible and pliable while still wet, is labor-intensive to collect. A smooth barked tree is felled before the crusty outer bark is shaved with the drawknife to reveal the light-colored inner bark. The inner bark is peeled and stored until use. Attendees will keep the bark they peel.This is a physical class, community-style class, working beside a fellow craftsperson. We’ll work together to strip the bark and divide the collected coils amongst our group.Please bring a water bottle and wear longer pants. We’ll have cold drinks and sugar snacks on hand for a boost.Required Tools: Drawknife. Utility knife. Work gloves. Tape measureOther supplies: Work clothes.Please review our Registration and Cancellation Policies on our Website before registering. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/berea/hickory-bark-harvest/100001648491766249 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 195, max: 195, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Berea - **state**: KY - **country**: United States - **location**: The Woodworking School at Pine Croft - **lat**: 37.56252599999999 - **long**: -84.251629 - **full address**: The Woodworking School at Pine Croft, 1865 Big Hill Road, Berea, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Hickory Bark Harvest - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f5c1fcb5d797ead66e5ed07f44b79c276b20a3935b58d221ba74150003382ebf-rimg-w1200-h801-dc464848-gmir.jpg?v=1757243939 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Hickory Bark Harvest being held? - **A:** Hickory Bark Harvest takes place on Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 09:00 am to Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm at The Woodworking School at Pine Croft, 1865 Big Hill Road, Berea, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Hickory Bark Harvest? - **A:** Tickets for Hickory Bark Harvest are priced at USD 195 per person.

Both Andy and Berea College are dedicated to preserving the fundamental character the school has been known for as we move the school into its next phase.  The Woodworking School at Pine Croft further supports Berea College’s 120-year commitment to the preservation and promotion of craft.\r\nWhile in some ways woodworking is an individual pursuit, there are common traits that connect across makers: a desire to expand our skills, furnish our homes, surround ourselves with the handmade, and join a community of dedicated craftspeople. We believe that craft can both preserve traditions and beauty – and that craft can act as a counterbalance to a disposable and consumer-reliant world. Making is essential to us. We are excited to share a place where students can grow in their skills and fulfill their creative pursuits. Providing opportunities to work with leading instructors who come from diverse backgrounds and have different woodworking perspectives. All are welcome to attend" } ] } ] ```
