spear making
Bushcraft involves outdoor survival skills, one of which includes crafting essential tools from available resources. Decorating, on the other hand, enhances the aesthetics of an environment or item. Now, let's merge these two concepts with spear making. In the wilderness, a spear is a crucial survival tool for hunting or protection. Its creation involves careful crafting, often from a long, sturdy branch. But, bushcraft isn't just about survival – it's also about appreciating nature and expressing creativity. Thus, decorating a spear can be seen as an integral part of bushcraft. It adds a personal touch, making the spear unique and reflecting the maker's personality.
Suitable for 3+ (Adult supervision required) | Spear points will be carved before the workshop and the activity will be decorating your own spear
