Creative Foraging - spring greens & wild weaving

  • Snuff Mills Snuff Mills, BS16 1DL (map)

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.

For this series we have bursaries available, as well as discounts for booking onto 4. 6 and 8 workshops.

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
