Leather has been everyone's favourite at BushCraft Club this term. Some of these teenagers have been doing leather craft with me for a few years now and they are a very talented competent bunch!

It is so inspiring seeing them design and bring their own wild and wonderful ideas to life!

These are some of the projects that have been made in BushCraft Club this term 😍😍 They are Incredible!!

I have saved every copper scrap I've ever had and I'm running out of buckets to keep them all in! This has been in the hope I will one day find a way to melt them down and reuse them... And that day came today 😍😆😍

It was flamin exciting to be working in a forge that's hot enough to melt metal!! Thanks John Artisan Pathways - John Lawry for another magical transformative day !!
We definitely need to make a bigger crucible to get through all of my scraps.. 😅
