I just found a really neat book that would be very helpful for many workshops. It's called "Lamps, Scrolls & Goatskin Bottles" by Julia B. Hans, published by Standard Publishing. It's got interesting background/historical information, scriptures, activities, crafts and pictures. Chapter 6 is "Farms, Fields and Marketplaces" and covers seed time and harvest, threshing and winnowing, vineyards, olives and figs, sheep/shepherds, rod and staff, skilled craftsmen, potters, carpenters, stone masons, metal workers, tanners, and marketplace.
Good luck!
