In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into the ancient craft of arrow making — a skill that blends precision, patience, and artistry. Students will learn how to select and straighten shafts, attach fletchings, and fit bone or metal points. Along the way, we’ll explore the history and spirit of the hunt — what it means to create your own tools from the land, to align intention, craftsmanship, and purpose. You’ll leave with your own hand-crafted arrows and a deeper appreciation for the intimacy between maker, tool, and landscape.
