Charcoal making and Art masterclass with street artist ATM

This wonderful workshop will be practical and creative - combining bushcraft and art.

In the morning we'll enjoy getting to know our surroundings and learning how to make artist grade charcoal, harvesting and processing your materials from the woods. In the afternoon we'll be led in a masterclass by renowned street artist ATM in drawing with the charcoal that you've made.

The session will allow time for you to develop simple woodland living skills to help you feel more comfortable enjoying time in the woods, we hope to leave you feeling refreshed and inspired.

The day will include refreshments and a simple soup and roll lunch cooked over the fire.

This workshop is aimed at adults, children over 14 are welcome if accompanied by a fee paying adult.
