Description
This unique 1 day forge & fire course combines the ancient art of blacksmithing with leather working and essential bushcraft fire lighting skills. It’s designed for anyone who’d like a fun day in the woods learning both blacksmithing and leather working. You’ll be taken on a trip back in time and taught some of the skills of our ancestors. Our resident blacksmith will show you how to use an iron age pit forge and guide you through the techniques to make your own traditional fire steel. You’ll also make a leather sheath for your firesteel, char cloth to ignite and be given expert tuition in how to use your traditional fire steel. About us and the venue: Jack Raven Bushcraft was founded in 2011 and we've been delivering bushcraft, craft and foraging courses since then from our 30 acre private ancient woodland on the Kent Downs in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Courses in the summer are held outdoors in our woodland camp complete with covered work areas, an outdoor kitchen and a composting loo. Courses in the winter are held in our workshop in a converted barn.
