A event on Sunday 13th October. 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 October session, we’ll discover what lies amongst the hedgerows to support our immune systems as we move towards winter. Herbal infusions can take many forms: syrups are a sweet and simple way to preserve these medicines, and oxymels are a potent medicine we want to share with you that combines apple cider vinegar and honey to extract many compounds from these powerful berries. We'll delve into each of their medicinal properties, learn their folklore and history of use and why they are so incredible as a combination.
2pm - foraging: how to find powerful berries in the hedgerows
4pm - learn how to make herbal oxymels; why we use different ingredients to extract and infuse
5pm - leave, spread this knowledge elsewhere
Meeting point: Greenbank Cemetery, BS5 6HL
Access: we'll walk along well trodden paths, occasionally stepping off onto the grass, 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
