Workshops and Activities
Family Boat Building WorkshopJune 29th – July 1st • 2012
The class starts on Friday with a pile of wood and various hardware and hand tools and concludes on Sunday with each participating group leaving with their own “Mabel Skiff.” In between, there is a lot of fun and new friends are made. The course teaches many of the skills boat builders use in classic wooden boat construction. It also teaches the use of many wood working tools and techniques.
Family groups of up to four people each build their own boat. Children of at least 7 years and older are best.
This event has been very popular at the RFM. We are limited to 10 family groups. Early registration is encouraged because of the limited space available. For more information or to register, contact the RFM at 804-453-6529 or by Email
Children's Model Building Workshop
August 13th - 17th • 2012
Oyster Fair
Watch for the new date in September 2012
These oyster grower's workshops concentrate on the construction and operation of floats used for oyster growth in local waters. Raising a relatively small number of oysters, usually 1,000, at one's dock is a simple and easy way to have oysters for consumption (after approximately two years) and to add to the water-filtering function of the oyster population; a critical factor in restoring the health of the Chesapeake Bay. These workshops, now run by the Tidewater Oyster Gardeners Association (TOGA), are generally very well attended.. Click here for more information on TOGA.

RFM Quilters
The RFM Quilters meet in the Museum, on the third Tuesday of every month from 9:30 to 1 in the Festival Halle, unless otherwise notified. We are a guild and are committed to teaching the ancient art of quilting. Every meeting has a program offering the quilters an opportunity to learn something new. We welcome new members, with or without experience. We can learn from each other. Contact the Museum office for more details.
There is now a Saturday Edition of this Guild for those who can't make weekday meetings. It meets on the 1st Saturday of the month (with some exceptions – see our Calendar ) at the Material Girl Shop on Rt. 200 near Burgess.
The RFM Needlers (needlepoint, knitting, crossstich) meets on the first Friday of each month at 9:30am.
