What to expect
Join our Summer workshop in the forest learning woodcraft, Fire-building and FOraging skills
This is a seasonal woodland based workshop focusing on creativity and seasonal experimentation. You will be guided through the craft of creating items such as walking staffs and personalised charm or talisman sticks. Gently discovering the process of using hand-tools and learning the properties and folklore of the woodland plants around us. During the day we will gather materials to make tinder for fire building, and join together around the campfire to share a warming homemade soup and bread.
With a focus on habitat awareness, these small groups are carefully curated. You’ll be immersed within this pristine area of natural beauty with lofty Douglas firs, a spiritual Yew grove, elderly Larch trees, established Elms, ancient coppices of Sweet Chestnut and Hazel, characterful Oaks, fungi & lichen, tranquil birdlife, and the beloved homes of many woodland creatures.
