SUMMARY:STOP the BLEED First Aid Class
DESCRIPTION:Today we live in a world where terrorism\, the actions of unstable people\, and the dangerous impulses of friends and relatives are very real and becoming increasingly more frequent. \nMassive bleeding from any cause\, but particularly from an active shooter or explosive event where a response is delayed can result in death. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR\, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques\, including how to use their hands\, dressings\, and tourniquets. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding\, within five to 10 minutes. \nHowever\, anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do. \nThe Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps is offering this FREE training to teens in cooperation with Our Lady of Fatima’s Youth Group. \nWHEN:  Tuesday\, Oct. 30\, 2018 from 7-8 p.m. (EDT) \nWHERE: Our Lady of Fatima Parish Center (229 Danbury Rd.) \nFAQs: \nAre there registration requirements? \nYes. It is important that each student be given adequate time and instruction with an instructor. We need to know in advance as to how many participants to expect\, to ensure we have enough supplies and instructors on hand\, thereby making advanced registration required. \nParticpants will be required to fill out a waiver that they should complete and bring to the event. This waiver will be sent to you via email after registering. \nAre there any age restrictions for attending this class? \nDue to the nature of the content of this paticular class\, the participants should be at least 13 years of age. The target audience for this particular class is teeens between 13 and 18 years old. \nIs there a cost associated with this event? \nNo. This training is offered free of charge as a service to the community by the Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps. That being said\, WVAC is 100% a volunteer\, non-for-profit 501(c)3 organization\, and not a department within the Town of Wilton\, that relies heavily on donations from the community. Donations are by no means a prerequisite for attending this course but should you so desire\, you will have the opportunity to donate when registering for the event through this site\, or at the event itself. \nWho can I contact with any questions? \nYou may contact Brian McDermott\, WVAC vice president and community events coordinator via email. Additionally\, contact Mara Fleming\, coordinator of youth ministry at OLF via email.

SUMMARY:Felting Workshop for Kids:  Making Felted Mittens
DESCRIPTION:One of the world’s oldest textiles\, felt is created from wool or other animal fibers that are densely matted together. It is ideal for protecting against cold and insulating against heat\, thus it has long been used for hats\, mittens\, blankets\, rugs\, yurts\, boots and clothing. In this Felting Workshop for Kids\, museum educator Laurie Walker will discuss the origins of felting\, and lead the children in making felted mittens from recycled sweaters. The kids will help make their own snack. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. Wilton Historical Society members fee is $10 per child\, maximum $25 per family; non-members fee is $15 per child\, maximum $35 per family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nMaking felted hats\, Danbury was known as “Hat City” . . . and hatters suffered “Danbury Shakes.” \n“The origins of Danbury’s hat-making industry date back to the late 18th century. It was then that Zadoc Benedict\, having stumbled upon a way to make felt by adding heat\, moisture\, and pressure to animal pelts\, began using his bedpost to mold felt into hats. He then hired a journeyman and two hat-making apprentices and started producing three hats per day. Danbury proved an ideal location for hat making thanks to its abundant populations of beavers and rabbits for pelts and thickly wooded forests for firewood. . . . In the early 1800s\, Danbury produced mostly unfinished hats. Hatters softened and dyed the felt through an 18- to 20-hour boiling process\, and molded the pieces into their proper shape. They then rolled the hats up by twos into paper and placed them in a linen bag\, and from there\, into a leather sack for shipment to New York by coach. Once in New York\, craftsmen trimmed and finished the hats.” – ConnecticutHistory.org\, a program of CT Humanities. \nThe expression “as mad as a hatter” is believed to have its origins in the deleterious effects of mercury nitrate exposure on workers in hat factories. During the mid-19th century\, the term “hatter’s shakes” became commonplace in the United States and Europe. It referred to the tremors experienced by workers whose prolonged exposure to the toxic mercury used in making headwear had devastating effects. In Connecticut\, the physical condition was termed the “Danbury Shakes.”

SUMMARY:Tinsmithing Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:According to the folks at Colonial Williamsburg\, “The trade of tinsmithing could be learned in one of two ways. First\, a young boy could become an apprentice in an established tinsmith shop. Apprenticeships typically lasted for anywhere from four to six years. . . Commonly produced items included tin funnels\, plates\, cups\, candle holders\, lanterns\, coffee pots\, pails\, whistles\, bowls\, canteens\, chandeliers\, and even tin ‘speaking trumpets\,’ a Colonial style of megaphone.” \nIn this fun Wilton Historical Society workshop\, kids ages 6-12 will make “tin” cookie cutters. The museum educator will talk about the history of tinsmiths and the important items they produced\, including cookie cutters. Participants will use their very own cookie cutters when they make sugar cookies as a snack. \nThe cost to participate for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child\, maximum $25 per family; for non-members $15 per child\, maximum $35 per family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid you know? \n“A tinsmith is a skilled metal worker who manufactures objects out of tinplate. A major advantage of using sheets of tin-plated iron\, as opposed to bare iron\, is that tin does not rust. Over the centuries\, many different names have been used to describe tin workers. In Colonial America\, artisans who worked in tin were called either whitesmiths or tinners. By the 1860s\, the title tinsmith had come into common usage.“ Excerpted from the website of Colonial Williamsburg

SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids at the Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:This Month:  Cranberry Tarts \nColonial Americans found native cranberries similar in flavor to the lingonberries with which they had been familiar in Europe\, although they quickly learned that the cranberry required quite a bit of sweetening. In the 18th century\, cranberries were most often preserved or stewed to sweeten them for use in pies. In keeping with the season\, on Saturday\, Nov. 24 from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. the Wilton Historical Society will be holding a Colonial Cookery and Customs Workshop for Kids\, in which the museum educator will be showing the children how to make a cranberry tart. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. All participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards–as well as any leftovers! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. \nPrevious sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes”\, New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup\, scalloped tomatoes\, and dressed macaroni and cheese. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nMembers: $10; non-members $15. Space is limited–please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“Cranberries were known by a variety of names\, including bounce berry\, marsh-wort\, fen-wort\, moss-berry\, and fenberry. A few different explanations for the name cranberry exist. The Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink states that the word is derived from the Dutch word kranbeer\, while An A to Z of Food and Drink claims the term is German and relates to the long\, beak-like stamens of the plant. The Oxford Companion to Food only notes the “dubious” theory that the name comes from the cranes that like to eat the fruit.” – Kitchen Historic \nAccording to Colonial Williamsburg\, “Ships embarking from New England ports carried cranberries to prevent scurvy\, just as ships leaving tropical ports carried limes. Happily\, for the sailors\, fresh cranberries come naturally coated with a waxy substance that acts as a preservative\, keeping them fresh for weeks—some say up to five months.”

SUMMARY:Mercury Glass Votive Workshop for Kids at Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:In this fun and festive workshop\, kids ages 6-12 will use paint and water to make shiny mercury glass votive candle holders. While decorating their votives\, museum educator Laurie Walker will talk with the children about the origins of mercury glass\, which was originally created as a replacement for sterling silver\, and contains neither silver nor mercury. The children’s second project will be to make their own snack–fruit dipped in white chocolate\, decorated with silver dragees. Very jolly! \nThe cost to participate for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; for non-members is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid you know? \nMercury\, or silvered glass\, is glass that has a silvery appearance. Mercury glass actually contains no mercury\, although at one point there were several manufacturers who attempted to line glass with mercury. This procedure was short lived due to both the toxic nature of mercury as well as its expense\, but may account for the name. Also called silvered glass\, it contains neither silver nor mercury. Mercury glass is\, instead\, clear glass which is mold-blown into double-walled shapes. The glass is then coated on the inside with a liquid silver nitrate solution\, through a hole in the bottom. \nMercury glass was first created in Germany in the early 1800s. It was used as a more inexpensive material for candlesticks\, vases\, goblets\, and other objects. Silvered glass quickly gained popularity in France\, England\, Bohemia\, and the United States. The New England Glass Company showed a large display of the glass at the New York Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1853; included in the display were goblets\, vases\, spittoons\, sugar basins\, tumblers\, and more. \nAlthough some critics dismissed mercury glass as being too showy and looking too mirror-like\, most people found it very attractive. Soon\, silvered glass began to be decorated with enamel\, etching\, paint\, and engraving. In the twentieth century\, the glass was used to make Christmas ornaments and other household decorations.

SUMMARY:Holiday Sweets:  Mendiants and Chocolate Bark Workshop for Kids at Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:A mendiant is a traditional French confection composed of a chocolate disk studded with nuts and dried fruits\, usually made during the holidays\, and often given as a gift. Like chocolate bark\, they can be made with dark\, milk or white chocolate. All this and more will be the topic at a Wilton Historical Society workshop for kids. Museum educator Lola Chen will be discussing these holiday sweets as the children make – and sample – some (nut-free)! \nSuggested for ages 6 – 12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, with a maximum of $25/family; non-members are $15/child\, with a maximum of $35/family. Register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know?\nMediants were traditionally studded with nuts and dried fruits chosen to represent the robe colors of the four monastic orders\, or mendicants\, of the church: raisins for the Dominicans\, hazelnuts for the Augustinians\, figs for the Franciscans and almonds for the Carmelites. These friars lived on charitable offerings\, earning them the appellation of “mendiants\,” meaning “beggar” in French. Today any variety of fruit and nuts are used which offers a great opportunity to show off your creativity.

SUMMARY:Adzes\, Froes & Hammers:  Wilton Historical Society Woodworking Workshop for Kids Building a Birdhouse
DESCRIPTION:What is an adze and what might you use it for? Ever heard of a froe? These and other antique tools\, plus hammers\, saws and nails will be explored at this Wilton Historical Society woodworking workshop for kids. Participants will have an opportunity to see a remarkable collection of more than 600 antique tools in the Society’s 1860 Abbott Barn’s “Tools of the Trades” permanent exhibit. Museum educator Laurie Walker will talk about some of the tools in the collection\, and discuss safety and the ways that colonial children would be expected to use those tools. Then it will be time for participants to use some hand tools (and a power drill) to build their own birdhouses. They’ll also enjoy a snack of puff pastry cheese straws. \nThis program will have an additional materials fee of $5. For safety reasons\, this workshop is strictly limited to 12 participants. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; for non-members the cost is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or by calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nAccording to Historyrocket.com:  “In colonial times\, every utility item had to be made by hand. Craftsmen made furniture\, tools\, wheels\, utensils\, glass and more. Master craftspeople owned shops in which they sold their products for money or used the barter system of trade. Craftspeople did not learn their trades by going to school. \n“Instead\, as youngsters between the ages of 10 to 15\, they learned their craft by being apprentices to master craftspeople. As apprentices\, they served their masters for 4 to 7 years and thus learnt the secrets of a trade. At the end of their contract\, apprentices had to produce a finished product called a ‘master-piece’. It was named so because the product was judged by their master. If the product passed the master’s inspection\, the apprentice passed his apprenticeship and became a journeyman. Journeymen traveled to nearby villages\, making and repairing goods until they could save enough money to open their own shop. . . . Many tools were used in colonial times such as the scuppets\, axes\, funnels\, compasses\, files\, augers\, gimlets\, braces\, chisels\, gouges\, drawknives\, hammers\, saws\, squares and bevels. Each tool had its own specified usage.”

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Warm and Wooly Knitting Workshop for Kids:  Learn to Knit a Scarf
DESCRIPTION:Knitting has evolved from Colonial times\, when it was a tedious chore for girls (and boys\, too!) to an extremely popular activity today. Knitting for beginners\, and those with some experience\, will be explored at this knitting workshop for kids. Museum educator Laurie Walker will talk about knitting\, and teach the basics. Each child will start on a scarf. Kids will enjoy a snack of applesauce. \nThis program will have an additional materials fee of $8 per child\, as each student will take home their knitting needles and yarn. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The fee for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; non-members $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or by calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nAccording to the knitting site FiberWild (based on information from No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting by Anne L. Macdonald)\, “Martha Washington herself was a fierce knitter and was said to never be without her knitting needles. During the Revolutionary War she spent many months in camp with General George Washington. She was called ‘Lady Washington’ and was said to be a grand lady\, America’s own version of royalty\, yet when Mrs. Troupe had the honor to visit Mrs. Washington in camp she said\, ‘We found her (Mrs. Washington) knitting and with an apron on! She received us very graciously and easily\, but after the compliments were over she resumed her knitting. There we were without a stitch of work\, and sitting in state\, but General Washington’s lady with her own hands was knitting stockings for herself and her husband.’ In fact\, there are ‘Martha Washington sewing cabinets\,’ which were particularly popular during the Depression. \n“Knitting was initially a male-only occupation. In fact\, when the very first knitting union was established in Paris in 1527\, no women were allowed.”

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Colonial Cookery and Customs Workshop for Kids:  Welsh Rabbit and Molasses Bread
DESCRIPTION:Welsh Rabbit (sometimes called Welsh Rarebit) is a dish consisting of a savory sauce of melted cheese and various other ingredients\, served hot after being spooned over slices of toasted bread – nary a hare in sight! Welsh Rabbit dates from the early 1700s and has long been enjoyed as hearty tavern supper. Wilton Historical Society museum educator Laurie Walker will show the children how to make Welsh Rabbit\, and some Molasses Bread\, too\, from a Revolutionary War period recipe. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids Workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. All participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards – as well as any leftovers! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. Previous sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes\,” New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup\, scalloped tomatoes\, dressed macaroni and cheese\, and gingerbread cakes. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nThe fee for members is $10/child\,\, and $15/child for non-members. Space is limited — please register by email or calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nWelsh Rabbit vs. Welsh Rarebit: “Though the “Welsh” part of the dish’s name seems clear-cut\, an etymological issue as sticky as melted Cheddar surrounds the second word:  is it rabbit\, or rarebit? The earliest reference we have to the dish\, in 1725\, is quite clearly rabbit; it’s not until over 50 years later that the mysterious alternative spelling starts to twitch its whiskers. John Ayto in his A Diner’s Dictionary writes that rarebit was probably ‘an attempt to folk-etymologize [the name] – that is\, to reinterpret the odd and inappropriate-sounding rabbit as something more fitting to the dish.’ The new name caught on and references to it multiplied a little like – well\, rabbits.” – Leah Hyslop\, London Telegraph\, Sept. 3\, 2013

SUMMARY:Ukrainian Egg (Pysanky) Decorating Workshop for Adults and Kids
DESCRIPTION:Learn the colorful and venerable craft of decorating eggs in the Ukrainian style\, known as pysanky (their name is derived from the Ukrainian verb meaning to write). Expert egg decorator Susan Clark will lead the Wilton Historical Society workshop for adults and children. This ancient craft uses symbols and motifs to create a jewel-like egg. Intricate designs can be created with geometric forms\, or with more naturalistic\, flowing patterns. Participants will be using a kistka\, a pointed implement a bit like a pen\, filled with beeswax and heated\, to draw designs on the eggs between bathing them in colored dye. Decorate eggs in a traditional design\, or create your own. \nThe workshop is for adults and children ages 9 and up. Children ages 6-8 must be accompanied by adult. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $20; for non-members is $25. Registration is required by email or calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“According to Ukrainian folklore\, the fate of the world depends on pysanky\, intricately decorated dyed Easter eggs. As long as people make pysanky\, it is said\, a monster personifying evil will remain chained to its cliff and the world will be safe.” – The New York Times\,  April 5\, 1984

SUMMARY:Ambler Farm’s Beekeeping Program
DESCRIPTION:Have you heard the buzz? Ambler Farm is starting a Beekeeping Program! \nHoney bees are fascinating creatures that play an incredibly important role in our food chain through pollination. This program is designed for adults with a casual interest as well as beginning beekeepers. Participants will follow our Ambler Farm honey bees throughout the year\, beginning in April with hiving a new package of bees. We will then monitor our bees throughout the spring\, summer and fall. It is expected that there will be eight opportunities for registrants to visit our bees and monitor their progress as the hive grows. If you have your own hive\, this is a great way to learn about your bees and compare them to trends we are seeing in the Ambler hives. \nWe plan to meet on Sundays from 1-2 p.m.\, four times in the spring\, twice in the summer and twice in the fall. Meeting dates will be determined by the arrival of our bees and their progress. \nAmbler Farm program director Kevin Meehan has been a beekeeper for over 10 years and brings a wealth of information and experiences to share with participants. Registration is limited. Please email Meehan with questions and if you are starting your own hive in conjunction with this program. \nThe cost to participate is $150 for non-members\, $130 for members.

SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids at the Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:The Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. This month’s workshop is on puddings and cakes. \nIn the 1796 book American Cookery: Or the Art of Dressing Viands\, Fish\, Poultry and Vegetables\, and the Best Modes of Making Pastes\, Puffs\, Pies\, tarts\, Puddings\, Custards and Preserves\, and all kinds of Cakes\, from the Imperial Plumb to Plain Cake\, by Amelia Simmons\, no fewer than 36 “reciepts” for puddings are included\, as well as 37 for cakes! \nBut not all puddings are sweet\, nor are they all made for dessert\, as we generally think today. Wilton Historical Society museum educator Laurie Walker will be discussing puddings and cakes at this workshop. Potato Pudding\, Sunderland Pudding\, Rice Pudding – the common ingredient in all of these is milk. Cakes\, on the other hand\, can be anything from a large yeast cake (like Election Cake) to a small cake (like Shrewsbury Cake)\, which we would more commonly call a cookie today. The kids will make a bread pudding and some honey cakes with updated recipes from the ones originally published in 1796. \nAll participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards – as well as any leftovers! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. Previous sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes”\, New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup\, scalloped tomatoes\, dressed macaroni and cheese\, gingerbread cakes\, maple syrup tart and Johnny cakes. \nThe workshop is suggested for ages 6-12. \nThe cost to attend for members is $10/child; non-members are $15/child.

SUMMARY:Pockets\, Aprons\, and Sewing Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:In the well-known nursery rhyme “Lucy Locket lost her pocket. . .\,” have you ever wondered how a pocket could be lost? Learn all about this essential item of dress for 18th and 19th century girls at a workshop for kids. According to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London\, “From the 17th century to the late 19th century\, most women had at least one pair of pockets\, which served a similar purpose as a handbag does today. They were usually worn underneath their petticoats . . . Many pockets were handmade and they were often given as gifts. Some were made to match a petticoat or waistcoat. Some were made over from old clothes or textiles. Pockets could also be bought ‘readymade’.” \nWilton Historical Society museum educator Laurie Walker will talk about how pockets were used and worn\, and show the kids how to cut out a pocket from colorful material and sew it onto an apron. A fully functional\, washable apron with a “custom” pocket is the result. Kids will help make their snack\, freshly baked sugar cookies with “pockets” of jam. \nThe workshop is suggested for children ages 6-12. \nThe cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child\, with a maximum of $25 per family; non-members’ cost is $15 per child\, with a maximum of $35 per family. Please register via email or by calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nEighteen Maxims of Neatness and Order\, written by Theresa Tidy in 1819\, lists the essentials for a pocket:  “It is also expedient to carry about you a purse\, a thimble\, a pincushion\, a pencil\, a knife and a pair of scissors\, which will not only be an inexpressible source of comfort and independence\, by removing the necessity of borrowing\, but will secure the privilege of not lending these indispensable articles.” \nHowever\, many pockets were stolen–in the 18th and 19th centuries\, thieves known as ‘pickpockets’ removed men’s wallets and cut the strings of women’s pockets.
