Workshops Description:
Join Brett Butler for an illumination into the world of natural fire and fiber. We will walk into the woods, taking note of useful plants and materials to gather to create a fire when it truly counts (think cold and wet). We will also learn to make cordage, handmade rope made from self-harvested natural fiber, in the ancient tradition.
