Living in an older home has also helped Lou Ann to learn how to repair various items around the house\, search YouTube for “fix it” videos and collect tools to cover a wide variety of tasks. \nHer Fix-It courses are meant as an entry to help students explore how to proceed safely with basic tools and build a home DYI toolbox\, creatively repurpose a picture frame or fix/alter a lamp. \nAbout The Farms \nThe Farms: An Allerton Folk School\, offers classes\, workshops\, and gatherings focusing on art\, health & wellness\, history\, nature & outdoor education\, or science. All experiences value hands-on\, experiential teaching and learning\, and are facilitated by and for the members of the community. \nSee the complete Fall schedule here.
