A full day of creating and crafting with primitive and modern tools.
This course partners well with the butchery and skinning skills from Wild Deer Gathering, or you can jump straight in.
Here we can extend our honouring of the deer to include many of the by-products discarded in modern times.
Join Gazza round the fire and get your hands dirty!
Things we will cover:
Modern tool use and safety;
Primitive tool use: cutting, scoring, grinding, sanding, boring, stitching and gluing the old way.
How to process and preserve materials: softening, drying, tanning and smoking.
Stitching, lacing and adding ‘Bush-Bling’.
Take home your treasures
Fashion your own pouch, knife, harpoon point, arrow head, gear maintenance kit, marlin spike, scraper, pendant, needle or cordage (or whatever you can dream up!).
Suitable for adults and accompanied 13+ teens.
Cost for the day is £100 per adult and £80 per teen.
( 13+ teens must be accompanied by a paying adult ).
