And just in case you want to make your own, modify the design or just look at the process Larry has posted information on the make itself right here.

More about Chickens

Check out this article about Urban Chickens. We're wondering, have you started keeping chickens thanks to a Seattle Free School class? Let us know in the comments here!

PS, sadly two of the chickens in the above picture were lost to raccoons in a particularly bad raccoon year. The black chicken Ginger has been in multiple magazine publications (she's a super star!) and is still laying almost an egg a day even though she's over 5 years old! She starts laying in late February even before the younger chickens do.

Why Teach?

We asked Cara, our friend and instructor of the very popular Pasta Making classes why she chose to teach with Seattle Free School. Here's what she said:

I have attended three Seattle Free School classes (cheese making, soap making and canning) and have really enjoyed them. I love the idea of the Seattle Free School, and the ability to go to a class for a night to learn something new and fun has been great. I taught making pasta because it is something I never realized you could make at home until a coworker explained that it is just eggs and flour.

The classes I have attended all seemed to be of the same idea, that you hear from someone how to make something on your own that you would never think to try, and hear the tricks to be successful. I hope to continue to take new classes and teach classes to give back to this great organization because it was nice to see how excited everyone was to learn this simple skill.

More Pasta Please!

Wish you could have made it to our last pasta class? Don't fret, there's a new one posted just today and it includes Gnocchi as well! So come to this class and get your pasta on!
