About

The BIPOC friction fire workshop is an overnight experience to learn and practice the art of fire birthing. The group will participate in a land walk to identify trees and other materials to make a bow drill kit. Participants will learn carving techniques and knife safety and begin carving their own bow drill or hand drill kit.  We will spend our second day together fine tuning our kits, learning about tinder and fire lays, and working on getting a coal. 

Bring enough food for lunch day #1, and for breakfast and lunch day #2. We will end our first day with a potluck dinner & all meals after that will be potluck style.

This entire program is held outside. 

Accessibility: This workshop involves using knives, hatchets, and other tools. It involves a lot of crouching, bending, and physical exertion. It involves venturing off into the forest and the articulation that is a part of that.

This  workshop is open to all ages.

Sliding scale:

this program runs on a sliding scale $50-$350
