Preserve traditional and utilitarian arts, crafts and trades at BC3’s newest adult continuing education program located at the Succop Conservancy.
Nestled in natural beauty on 50 acres in Penn Township, Heritage School at The Conservancy, offers relaxed learning in a tranquil, native environment.
Chris Holt, a student at Heritage School at The Conservancy, described her experience taking a Drystone Masonry Course as a "spa for the intellect" and a "collision of two worlds." "It was wonderful to go from working with stones at the bottom of the pond to a delicious and beautifully prepared lunch" complete with white linen cloths . . . and afternoon beverages in crystal glasses adorned with fresh fruit.
Immerse yourself in a time-honored craft or trade taught by master craftsmen.
