Immerse yourself in the timeless art of crafting your own shortbow/selfbow in our hands-on, 7-hour workshop set amidst the serene beauty of nature. This unique experience is designed for both beginners and enthusiasts who are eager to learn the traditional methods of bow making using only hand tools.

🦉Guided by Experienced Craftsmen: Learn from practiced bowyers who will share their knowledge and passion for traditional bow making. Their close guidance ensures that you gain the skills needed to create a rustic, functional and beautiful shortbow/selfbow.
⚒️Authentic Hand Tools: Experience the satisfaction of working with classic hand tools such as axes, drawknives, spokeshaves, and rasps. Each tool is carefully selected to give you an authentic crafting experience, connecting you to centuries-old techniques.
🏕️Natural Outdoor Setting: Our workshop takes place in a picturesque outdoor environment, allowing you to craft your bow surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. The fresh air and natural light provide the perfect backdrop for calm, creativity and learning.
🪵From Blank Wood to Finished Bow: Start with a carefully selected blank piece of wood and transform it into a finished shortbow/selfbow. You'll learn every step of the process, from shaping and tillering to stringing and testing your bow, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the craft.
🏹Hands-On Learning: With a focus on practical, hands-on instruction, you'll gain confidence and proficiency in using each tool and technique. Our small class sizes ensure personalized attention, allowing you to progress at your own pace.
SylvanKin focuses on the journey rather than the destination, ensuring everyone has a unique and immersive experience they'll never forget and learns the skills needed to craft. We will not provide bowstrings to take home, but will have a selection of sizes ready to test the bow before finishing.
Join us for a day of creativity, tradition, and hands-on learning in our enchanting outdoor setting. Whether you're looking to start a new hobby, deepen your appreciation for traditional crafts, or simply enjoy a day in nature, our shortbow/selfbow crafting workshop offers a memorable and enriching experience.
Reserve your spot today and step into the world of traditional bow making!🏕️
