Creative Foraging - mushroom medicine & drawing

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 November session, we’ll be getting deep into observation, learning to understand the language of fungi: we'll learn how to read their anatomy and confidently recognise identifying features as we get to know them more closely through drawing and journalling. Come along and learn why they make such powerful medicine and how we can use them in tinctures, stocks, soups and the ultimate healing teas.

2pm - foraging: how to confidently identify medicinal winter fungi
4pm - learn how to make decoctions and double extracted tinctures
5pm - leave, spread this knowledge elsewhere
