Winter 2021
During the months of January and February, we are offering longer workshops, allowing the students to both build a fire and cook around it, while also learning winter skills. This season we will plan on making our own snowshoes, learning intermediate bushcraft carving skills to make detailed spatulas and spoons, and crafting our own leather knife shealths. (Project completion dependent on available time. We work on “student time”, so if you all decide to dive deep into a particular skill, we may not get to all of the projects.)
