Tipsy Flowers (October)

Participants will spend a morning learning a traditional craft in the beautiful, peaceful and ancient Wyre Forest.

Participants will make traditional gypsy flowers out of hazel, oak or ash (harvested sustainably from the forest) whilst sitting on a shave-horse, using a traditional draw knife. Participants may make as many flowers as they like, and may paint them if desired or leave them natural.

After mastering this easy-to-learn craft, engage with the Spirit of the Wyre with tastings of Wildjac’s naturally flavoured gins, vodkas and rums (non-alcoholic also available).

Participants will take their bunch of flowers home with them, as well as a Wildjac miniature bottle of their choice and a bottle of Wyre Community Land Trust apple juice made with apples gathered from local orchards.

A significant element of the session in the forest will simply be enjoying the peace and quiet of the beautiful surroundings. We hope that everyone will go home refreshed and revitalised, having spent time connecting with nature and learning a new skill.
