Fun with Nettles!
Join wild-crafting and foraging enthusiast Jon Tyler (Wild for Woods) for a creative session that will take the sting out of the usual nettle encounter and help you learn to love them!
Experience the fun side of nettles; sipping tisane, tasting pesto and wristband weaving, all from nettles.
During the workshop, you will discover how to source, process, and make nettle cordage from raw material to finished item. Along the way, you will learn more about the history and uses of nettles.
