It's in the little moments...

These disciplines and skills have endured for centuries, from empire to empire and across every continent.

They are not going to disappear now, in fact they are more important for us now than ever before.

Your mind hungers for the freedom each craft provides.

Your hands itch for the opportunity to create.

Listen to your heart, finally start. It is in your DNA.

Last weekend our Axe Forging students had the pleasure of a class led by the deeply knowledgable and skilled Piers from ⚒️✨

Starting off in cabinetry with a flair for the metalworking, Piers is an exceptional and experienced blacksmith based in Malton, whom we met at the epic a couple years ago🍻

His humour and friendliness compliment his ability perfectly🌄
He'll be making more appearances on our sessions so keep an eye out!

Today we did something a little different - a willow weaving intro workshop🧺

Down at the ever tranquil estate we worked with the mixed group to craft some small foraging baskets, perfect for introducing the basics ⚒️

It's always a true delight to be with the dedicated team there, and a special thank you to Sarah for putting it all together🌄

See you again for the October Harvest Festival🎶

Lumberjacking, by hand of course! 🪓

Our behind-the-scenes work to keep the workshops, events, and custom projects going is seldom seen (something we will be changing this year), but it's happening every day⚒️

When it's almost all done by hand it keeps us fit and healthy, and as close as possible to the materials and their nature🌳

And it's damn good fun ✨
