Twig Twiddling Sculptures @ Fairburn Ings Nature Reserve
Mar 6 @ 10:00 – 15:00

Have a go at some twig twiddling and weave yourself an animal! Join Lily Horseman to create a sculpture either by yourself or with your family, and get inspired by nature to make a bird, mammal, invertebrate or something from your imagination! Birch is an incredible weaving material and Lily will show you how to build shapes and connect them together to make your creature. The materials for this workshop will have been gathered from the reserve, as part of our habitat management, and you can turn them into something unique.

Cumbria Forest School Networking event @ Hodge Howe Lodge
Apr 2 @ 11:00 – 16:00
Cumbria Forest School Networking event @ Hodge Howe Lodge  | Greenodd | England | United Kingdom

Come and join other Forest School practitioners to share practice, chat over what’s going on in the world of Forest School, get up to date on latest developments and revisit and extend your own skills.

We’ll get a fire lit, a kettle over it, some light refreshments cooked over the fire and there will be a selection of tools and a nice woodland to hang out in. We can make ‘stone soup’ and experiment with different bread recipes and methods of cooking on a fire. The Stone Soup story is an old one and will need everybody to bring something to add to the pot or feel free to bring your own food to cook on the fire.

It was decided at the last network meeting that all members are encouraged to bring something Forest School related along that they are working on at the moment. Offers so far include Bird song ID, coppicing some hazel on the site and sharing simple craft ideas and tool skills, and making brands (if you have any old bicycle spokes bring them along)
