What our customers say about our bone tools course

Interesting and productive course delivered by a very knowledgeable tutor, as always the setting is a calming friendly place be (whatever the weather!)
Excellent, educational and entertaining workshop.
Myself and my wife attended this course in March 2022. Billy the tutor was very knowledgable and a great communicator, who has a clear joy in passing on his knowledge. The course is hands on, there was a large handling collection of bone objects to examine close up. A full range of flint, stone and antler implements where provided to work the bone into tools. People in the group made needles, awls, amulets, arrowheads, harpoons and even a crochet hook.
We came away with an appreciation of the skill required by our ancestors to make their own tools and a new understanding of bone as a material. It is not the grey, soft and sad material left on your plate after a meal but a tough, durable and flexible material that has many practical uses.
We would recommend this course if you are looking for something slightly different in Bushcraft knowledge or are curious about experimental archeology.
