On Saturday 16th November 2024 we held our ‘Festive Crafts’ event at Accrington Cricket Club, we were joined by none other than Gareth Muir, of Crag Moor Bushcraft!
Participants learned safe knife handling skills, proper whittling techniques, and crafted their very own Winter Wonderland Display! Using their whittling knives, participants crafted various tree models from a length of hazel, which was separated from the length with each model.
Once participants had their tree models, they attached them to a wood cookie to make a tree display which can be used as a decoration!
Thank you everyone who attended our session, your attendance made it the wonderful event it was! Thank you also to Accrington Cricket Club for lending their amazing space, and to Gareth for sharing his incredible knowledge.
As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible
