Bark Working, Boxes and Weaving

Our ancestors were a clever bunch when it came to identifying the resources it took to carry out their every day activities. Carrying and storing food stuffs and personal equipment were some of those everyday needs much the same as today, except they didn't use plastic bags and cardboard. A lot of the time they would form their baskets and boxes from the bark from trees. Bark is amazing stuff offering flexibility and strength as well as looking good. We can show you how to make the most of this resource on our 2 day course

Bark Working, Boxes and Weaving

£160.00

Please indicate which dates you are booking for on your form! Using ancient techniques of processing plant and bark materials we can fashion them into good strong functional cordage capable of taking huge amounts of strain. Barks and plants can also be used to make boxes and baskets used for carrying and storage. Historically these were all made by hand and used extensively to store and hold our world together. Come and learn the ways our ancestors would have secured their worlds and make your own bark containers and cordage. Joining information, equipment list and how to get here will be sent out on completion of your booking and receipt of full payment.
