FLORA — The annual Flora School Days will be virtual this year, held Tuesday, June 1, through Saturday, June 5, online at www.floraschool.org.

The mission is the same — promoting and celebrating pioneer skills and lost arts — but presented in a thoroughly modern format.

On each of the first four days of the event, a pioneer artist will walk viewers through a prerecorded demonstration. The live broadcast each evening begins at 6 p.m.

• June 1 — Nickie Sanchez (Custom Creations by Nickie, San Diego, California) demonstrates patchwork sewing, hand-piecing nine-patch placemats using the card trick block and a treadle sewing machine.

• June 2: Andy Boyd (Boyd Blacksmithing, Lostine) pounds out rosehead clinch nails.

• June 3: Justin Riley (Riley River Forge, Walla Walla) prepares a hide for tanning and then tans a hide using brains.

• June 4: David Spurlock (YouTube’s “Hanging with Dave” and Little River Forge, Mountain View, Arkansas) wanders around to show you medicinal- and food-use plants in your own backyard.

June 5 delivers a full day of demonstrations with a live broadcast from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• 8 a.m. — Andy Sparrell (Andy Sparrell Specialties, Dayton, Washington) twists, bends and pounds out fork, knife and spoon, a matched set.

• 10:15 a.m. — Nathan Thompson (Rusty Hammer Forge, Walla Walla) uses hand tools and hot metal to transform blocks of wood into bowls.

• 12:30 p.m. — Mark McVane (Metalcraft Northwest, Walla Walla) walks viewers through making hinges.

• 2:45 p.m. — Vanessa Thew Thompson (North End Crossing, Flora) while stoking the wood cookstove will create a savory galette and a dessert galette-recipe will be available. While making galettes, she will give you various tricks for using a wood cookstove.
