Stroll through the craft demonstration area and learn about Florida folk life, crafts and artists. Many of the artists featured are
on hand in the Craft Demonstration Cabins demonstrating their fine craftsmanship and skills. They love to share
the details of their work and show you how it's done.
Pottery, blacksmithing, quilting, weaving, woodworking, jewelry making, tie dyeing, aromatherapy, and instrument making are just a few examples of demonstrators at the craft square. An herbal garden, located between the pottery cabin and blacksmith shop will provide visitors with information on many uses of natural herbs.
Craft classes are offered throughout the year for visitors to learn a new hobby in many exciting areas such as pottery, blacksmithing, basket making, weaving, and much much more.
