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 April session, we want to share the foundational skills of wild basket weaving and how to make nourishing spring vinegars. You’ll leave with the beginnings of a basket, and skills and medicine to share with others.
ROUGH TIMINGS:
2pm - foraging: learn about fresh greens and flowers of spring
4pm - craft your own frame basket and learn to make nourishing vinegars
5pm - leave, spread knowledge elsewhere
Meeting point: Snuff Mills car park, BS16 1DL
Access: we'll walk along well trodden paths, these 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
