Description:

In this workshop we will explore the ancient art of making fire-by-friction, primarily using the bow-drill technique. Our main focus will be learning how to carve and use our fire kits. We’ll also prepare tinder bundles and blow them into flame.

This will be a full-day program with plenty of hands-on work. You will go home with a fully functional fire kit and the skills to practice on your own.
