Sunday 11th August - The third of our Family Bushcraft holiday workshops. This very special workshop will be led by our artist in residence Lauren Youngs, focusing on foraging from the hedgerow and meadows to make the most incredible natural art and crafting materials as well as equisite nature-inspired art itself! From using bark to make brushes, creating charcoal based paints, and experimenting with mushroom made inks, to drawing from nature and chatting about living off grid - this will be a truly delightful experience!
Further workshops this summer:
Sunday 25th July - The first of our Family Bushcraft holiday workshops. Perfect for all the family, this workshop focuses on all things fire - from foraging the right seasonal materials and mouthwatering morsels to tinder bundle construction, fire lays, bow drill and a truly magical bannock recipe! All accompanied by a generous selection of nature-connected folklore and storytelling!
Sunday 4th Aug - The second of our Family Bushcraft holiday workshops. This workshop focuses on using, and making, tools in the outdoors - from foraging for string and whittling knives, to building fire tripods and weaving with willow, it's all about how we use what nature provides to create the most incredible things!
Sunday 25th August - The fourth of our Family Bushcraft holiday workshops focusing on foraging from the hedgerow and meadow in order to make some magical medicines for the home - we walk out with our baskets to forage for plants that we'd usually pass by, whittle our own spatulas, create our own bubbling decoctions on the fire, and make beeswax balms, tonics and teas to take home.
All workshops will take place outdoors and will require appropriate clothing and footwear to be worn. All children must be accompanied by participating adults.
Camping and Hayloft accommodation is also available at the farm - please see www.thewildofthewords.co.uk/staywithus for more info.
