Description
Isn’t nature great? Walking through the woods, talking to some friends, staring at the trees. Or going out solo, and hearing yourself think for once. But every hiker needs a companion, whether it’s a friend, a spirit animal (mine’s the weasel), or better yet, a big ol’ stick. That’s right, traverse treacherous terrain with a help from nature itself. In this class we will build a walking stick using hand tools and the power of you. Each stick will be unique due to the very essence of handwork. You will learn to: “read the grain” of wood, hand plane, learn about jigs and more! All while making your own walking stick! This is a beginner level class so no experience necessary!
In partnership with Outlandish Hiking – Take your stick out walking with a hike out of the city!
Refund Policy: 24 hour minimum notice for full refund
