Practical sessions will include five or six from...*
- Making a base plan of your growing space, whether you have a balcony or an acre garden together we will make it more efficient.
- Rag Rugging - make a sample square so you know how to do it again at home and turn all your old clothes into cosy rugs.
- Toothpaste Making
- Soap Making
- Beeswax Candle making to accompany the talk about alternative fuels and wicks that can be used to create light.
- Have a go at a communal fence or basket.

We have taught on Escape to the Country, Countryfile, for Country Living Magazine, been in Landlove, Crafts Beautiful, and regularly featured in the Yorkshire Post rural life pages.
Based from two tipi site sustainable living venues in the rural outskirts of York the school began with founder Di, a mother of three and teacher living off grid on the moors, living from what was around them.
