Workshop 3:
2-day Naked Table Project workshop by Sustainable Hanover and Shackleton/Thomas
16 tables; 5 slots reserved for conference participants

Make your own "sustainable" table and celebrate community with The Naked Table Hanover project! What is a "Naked Table"? It is a piece of furniture created out of locally grown wood, made by our own hands, that is functional, beautiful and central to our lives. There is nothing hidden about these tables—everything about them is truly transparent.

Think globally, act locally, and build community by building a Charles Shackleton designed table (35x60 and a $2,000-$3,000 value). You will make the table from local lumber harvested at Dartmouth College's Second Grant, which is managed according to sustainable forestry principles, and milled in Henniker, NH. You will tag a tree that will be managed in honor of the one used to create your table. And then you will eat a locally grown and produced community lunch at your new table.

If you would like to participate , please contact the Sustainable Hanover Intiative directly, (sustainablehanovernh@gmail.com) or call Lyn Swett Miller & Larry L. Litten at 603/643-8764. The cost is $750 per table. This will include all materials and one meal per table.
