Bow Making Course
This is a one day, were you will learn about the art of the bow-maker and the use of bows. First and foremost, however, this is a practical hands-on course. You will learn to shape and form traditional bows, to make string from natural raw materials and to make, point and fletch arrows. All materials and equipment will be provided but if you wish to bring any of your own tools, all that you will need is a rasp, a pocket-knife and a small plane. At the end of the course, you will leave with your own bow that you have made yourself!
