Description: My work has a definite focus on tooling designs in to the leather in an organic way that is sympathetic with the overall project, it isn't just about putting a nice picture into leather. We will work together to create something unique and personal using veg-tanned leather and traditional wet-forming methods, embossing, sewing and staining. I would particularly like to help people finish off things started at craft camp; a wet-formed and tooled sheath for a hand forged knife, or incorporating a brass casting into a bag as examples. I also like to work to known historical periods such as the bronze age as this can also involve working with bone and wood.

Description: Come and learn the craft of traditional storytelling - how to tell stories from memory, how to bring tales to life for an audience, how to work with the medicine and wisdom of traditional tales in the world today. Over the course of the camp we will develop the techniques and skills that oral tradition storytellers use when they are performing - voice, movement, spoken word, imagination and more - and spend time exploring what these stories have to offer us as guides, teachers and provocateurs. We will focus on folk and fairy tales, accompanied by craft activities and other creative exercises, and work towards a final sharing at the end of the week."
