Workshops at the Moot.

  • Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Hi,

all these great workshops being arranged at the moot have been posted on different threads and in different places.

I think it would be good if they could all be posted in one place with all the aditional costs etc. even if there is no decided date/time yet just so we know what is going on.

as I am struggleing to keep track as to what is going on ;) and I would'nt want to miss anything and I'm guessing other people have probably lost track too :)

so if you are running a workshop post below or PM me with details and I will put it up :)

Cheers :You_Rock_

Tracking workshops on the Saturday. I'll be running two, one morning and one afternoon if I remember correctly. No charge for my workshops. :)

Oh b****, that's when I'm booked for the flint knapping with the Lords. Looks like I'll have to miss it out :(

I'm hoping to do some knotwork sessions, basic intros for setting up a tarp etc. Not looking to take too long so newcomers can have practice time and return again should they need pointers.
Also, if we can source enough rabbits, I'll repeat the "Wild Meat Preparation Workshop" I did last year, but there aren't nearly enough around me at the moment (recovering from an extended bout of myximatosis), so its looking doubtfull just now.
Other than that, I'll lend a hand wherever it is needed.

I may be able to get some rabbits Ogri, I'll speak to The Ratbag and see if we could get up on his permission and bring half a dozen or so. What sort of state would you want me to bring them in? Just empty the bladders or just take the guts out and leave the plucks in?

There is a timetable / programme. It is being added to and altered as things are arranged right up until the Moot.
The basics, the booked workshops, the group get togethers like the Hangi, and the safety talks are framed in, but I believe the final version will be available when folks arrive on site.

cheers,
Toddy

I'm really interested in basketry if anyone is willing to teach me, I've tried learning from books and online sources but I'm a practical hands-on kinda girl and I would really love it if someone was willing to show me the basics :D

here's most of what's going on, things are still changing due to a number of circumstances but this will give you all a good idea of what's going on.

Remember that there's usually quite a few impromptu workshops and we'll also do our best to accommodate requests when were there at the Moot.

Flintknapping
knife forging Demo
Hand Drill Workshop
woodland wild food walk
Heath & scrubland wildfood walk
Tracking
wild food walk
sharpening Workshop
Chainsaw Demo
Blanket coat making
Kids activites
Story telling
Damp Firelighting workshop
Field & pasture wildfood walk
Family Group Bowdrill
Trapping
Bow Drill Workshop
sustainable wildfood talk + Q&A
Natural Medicine
Axe workshops
wildfood cooking
Food prep (whatever we get hold of)
Hangi /
Food/Landscape advanced
Knots

The only workshops that we're officially taking names for is the flintknapping, the rest of the workshops will be first come first served unless the person organising the workshop arranges otherwise.

The aim is to have at least 4 workshops running at any one time, at times there's likely to be more than this. There's plenty going on and there's lots of opportunity to do arrange for help with a personal interest or your own thing as well. Make sure you relax and enjoy yourself and keep in mind that if you do miss something you're likely to be able to catch up with it.

Lots of people are giving up their time to come and teach, it's a fantastic range of people from many walks of life and it's going to be a brilliant event.

Don't worry, I'm there for the duration, I'm sure we could fit in a walk and I can give you a few pointers! :)

Thanks Rhoda, you're a star :) that would be really appreciated if you could find time for that. And I bet there will be a few others wanting to join in once they read these posts :D
