Location

In Devon we are collaborating with a very special project called ‘New Futures,’ CIC - a community based education initiative, focusing on learning from nature through practical skills, creativity and personal development. We are so pleased to be running this workshop with support from them!

In Bristol we are being hosted by Bridge farm, an incredible community project engaging the city with the land. This was one of our favourite hang-outs when we lived in Bristol and we cant wait to support them and see some old friends!

**About us: **

We are neighbours and friends who spend time walking, dreaming and getting creative!

Juliet is a regenerative crafter and creative facilitator, initiating - ‘The Craft that Reconnects.’ She loves foraging materials and sharing seasonal community craft workshops, which she hopes encourage people to steward and heal local landscapes. She studied ‘Engaged Ecology’ at Schumacher where she became inspired to teach rural craft skills.

Pip is a local printmaker, specialising in relief and etching work. She has a strong narrative element to her prints, portraying twists on traditional tales and playing with the dark whimsy of where we live. She's interested in creating a narrative from the world around us and also the therapeutic nature of carving a plate and what that can offer the maker.

If you are coming to the event in Staverton the yurt is a rural location - directions will be emailed over before the event!

The craft day is aimed at adults and young people (12 years +)

If you have younger children and want to come but would struggle to find childcare, please get in touch as we might be able to find a solution as theres a big patch of grass/woodland for games, we just need to know numbers incase we need extra adults.
