From Forest to Forge
Ages: 13 - 15
Join us on an elemental week that takes us back in time to learn the ancient skills of woodwork and ironwork. Based at Kroka village we will build a primitive clay forge and, beginning with raw materials, learn to smith our own knife blades. Meanwhile we will harvest materials from the forest to carve and haft our handles, finishing the week with a handmade tool that will last a lifetime. To round out the adventure our days will include trips to local swimming holes, farming, singing, and cooking delicious meals over the open fire.
