Sourdough & Bread Making
Learn to cultivate a sourdough starter from scratch, understand the science of fermentation, and bake a nutritious, long-fermented loaf. We cover flour selection, hydration, shaping, and the meditative rhythm of bread-making. You will leave with your own active starter and a loaf you baked yourself. This is the original slow food — and it is one of the most important skills you can reclaim.
Wet Felting Fundamentals
Transform raw Saxon merino fleece into a beautiful, durable textile using only water, soap, and friction. No needles, no machines — just the ancient process of agitation and heat. We cover fibre preparation, layout, wet felting technique, and finishing. You will leave with a completed felt piece and the knowledge to continue at home. Our naturally coloured merino is lighter and warmer than cashmere — it is a joy to work with.
Natural Skin Tanning
Traditional skin tanning using plant tannins and natural methods — no chemicals, no shortcuts. We cover the full process from raw hide to finished leather, using possum and deer skins sourced from pest control operations. This is a high-value skill that turns a pest control by-product into a beautiful, lasting material. Pest control skins are a valuable resource; our furniture is a source of indoor pollution — natural leather is not.
Foundational Philosophy: Regenerative Living
A full-day seminar covering the intellectual and practical framework for regenerative living. Topics include: soil biology and holistic grazing, permaculture design principles, poison-free living (the case for removing chemicals from your food, home, and land), natural health and the role of probiotics and medicinal herbs, and the economics of small-scale regenerative enterprise. This seminar is the foundation for everything else we teach.
