We’ll forage and prep native plant fibres on the day (probably bramble). With two days available there’ll be time to process all your fibres and sink into the repetitive rhythm of twining your cordage and then looping it into a bag. A variety of looping techniques will be shown, depending on which type of bag you decide to make. You’ll leave knowing all you need to make a looped net cordage bag from start to finish.

This course is suitable for people who’ve had a go at making cordage before, or for beginners who have good hand skills. Groups are kept small to allow for individual attention. If you’re a complete beginner, the Wild Cordage Day course is an excellent introduction and starting point.

I aim to offer you a satisfying learning experience as well as an enjoyable time away from it all. To support you in getting the most from the day, we’ll connect to the woodland surroundings through a short and simple, guided mindfulness-based practice.

Accommodation: camping is available at the farm venue and full details about this will be sent to you when you book on the course. The farm also has glamping options- cosy bell tents and cabins with wood-burners. The cost of staying at the farm isn’t included in the cost of the course.

See you in the woods!
