A event on Sunday 14th July. The event starts at 14:00.
This workshop is part an 8 month workshop series to learn about local wild food, medicine and crafts. We'll practice ethical foraging as an act of resistance. Check out the other workshops in the series: https://hdfst.uk/creative-foraging
Each session will include a guided foraging walk and an introduction to a range of craft and wild medicine making skills that you can build on throughout the year, leaving each session with knowledge to share with others.
In this July session, we'll find the many common plants that support skin healing; many friends for hands that are used to work of all kinds or that are prone to drying and cracking. We’ll learn how to turn them into gentle oils that heal bruises, stings, cuts and even broken bones. You’ll make your own infused oil with wild plants and essential oils.
ROUGH TIMINGS:
2pm - foraging: wild plants for skin health
4pm - infusing nourishing oils with wild plants, learning how to blend them into balms and share them
5pm - leave, spread this knowledge elsewhere
Meeting point: Conham River Park car park, BS15 3AW
Access: we'll walk along well trodden paths, the riverside can sometimes get muddy, get in touch if you have any access needs so we can adjust for you
Bursaries: for this series we have bursaries available, as well as discounts for booking onto 4. 6 and 8 workshops
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
