I’ll be teaching a 2 day course in London, Richmond, next weekend 30th and the 31st. We will be crafting with deer legs to make beautiful tools and sheaths. You’ll also make useful flint tools to use there and then. This will be a deep dive into our Stone Age past and you’ll leave the course with an understanding of how the ancestors of these lands worked with nature, which is just what London needs.
