Dorset Wild Ones

Wand and mushroom whittling workshop
2023-10-21 13:00 - 15:00 UTC | Wooders Campsite, Lower Woodbury Farm, Wareham, Dorset, Dorset, BH20 7NN, United Kingdom
Join us for a woodcraft workshop, where our bushcraft expert Joe will help you transform a piece of hazelwood wood into something extraordinary! Whittling provides not just a creative expression but also a way to cultivate mindfulness, self-awareness, and a stronger bond with the natural world.
We will first show you several useful tools and how they can be used safely and effectively. You will then use a variety of techniques to create your own mini mushroom or wand, perfect to take home for Halloween!
This workshop is suitable for beginners as the basics will be covered, but if you have some experience you will enjoy perfecting your skills and learning some new techniques.
It is best for adults and children aged eight and over, though we ask that anyone under the age of 14 is accompanied by a paying adult. Younger children may struggle with some of the techniques so we would suggest opting for a wand as a starter project.
We will provide hot and cold drinks, including our tasty hot spiced apple juice

Wild Ones is based at the beautiful Wooders campsite in Bere Regis on the edge of Wareham Forest. Depending on the weather, we will either ask you to park at the entrance of Wooders or you will be able to drive straight to our site which is signposted. We will be able to direct you on the day.
