Survival: Natural Adhesives and Primitive Tool Making - Lethbridge

When: October 15, 2025 from 10-12pm
Where: Lethbridge - Indian Battle Park
(Meet at Alberta Picnic Shelter)

For most of human history we have learned to survive and thrive in nature using only what the wild provides. One important skill is making natural glue, or adhesive, from things like tree sap, plants, and even animal products. Once you have glue, you can make primitive tools such as spears, knives, axes and specialized tools meant for a specific task such as preparing animal skins. These are tools that early humans or wilderness explorers made by hand. A simple tool might be a sharp stone tied to a stick to make a knife or axe. 

This workshop will cover some of the traditional uses of natural adhesives before participants design and make their own tools to take home with natural glue they helped to make. Making tools and glue like this helps you understand how people lived before modern tools. It’s fun, creative, and a great way to connect with nature!
