Late May/Early June is typically the best time to hunt for Morel and Verpa mushrooms in the Derwent area. We will head out into the woods to see if we can spot any of these early season delicacies as well as medicinal, edible, and useful plants and trees. We will also be looking for materials for our Natural Dye Making.
Natural Dyes - 1- 3pm $33
Explore the world of natural pigments and paints! This class will cover the traditional use of natural materials to dye fabric. Participants will help prepare the dyes and dye their own fabric with the colours of their choice to take home with them.
Charcloth Making - 3-5pm $33
Knowing how to light fire with a variety of methods is very important skill to have. Charred materials have been used for fire starting throughout history. This class will cover char cloth making and use. Participants will leave with their own charcloth that they can bring home for their next, parent approved, fire.
