Wildcraft Workshops
Arrow Making
In this workshop you will be learning which local plants can be used as hardwood arrows and how to make your own. There will be brief demonstrations on proper harvesting, stave processing and crafting the arrow. Everyone will have the opportunity to create their own arrow alongside each demonstration. You will be guided through every step; bark removal, stave straightening, fletching with turkey feathers complete with a hand carved nock at the end. You will go home with your own handmade arrow and the knowledge to fill your quiver.

Locating & Identifying
We will begin our workshop reviewing which plants to look for and the type of environment you will find them in. We will also go over what signs to look for on the plants themselves to get the best possible arrow.
Processing Branches
We will actively process the branches into clean arrow staves, going over each part step by step. By the end of this lesson you will be left with a smooth, straightened arrow stave ready for its feathers.
Fletching & Nocking
In the final steps we will nock your arrow then begin the process of fletching with turkey feathers. At the end of this workshop you will go home with your very own handmade arrow and the knowledge of how to make more.
