Harness the ancient skill of making fire by friction in this half day workshop. Come along to the woods and learn what it takes to craft fire using the bow drill. You will be supplied with your own kit (yours to take home at the end of the workshop – 1 per parent and child team) which together we will refine further and learn the techniques to create a living ember and blow this into flame. This is an opportunity to connect with this most vital of elements in a primitive and powerful way.
