A relaxed summer evening of twisting and twirling wild fibres into string.
You've heard of nettle string, but did you know that a whole host of readily available plants can be used to make string? Come join us for an evening of twisting on the nature reserve. Learn how we prepare materials then try your hand at using our pre-prepared materials to make different types of string. Ties for garden plants? A bracelet? Materials for your next craft project? You decide! Plants used will depend on personal interest and what's available on the day but may include nettle, bramble, yellow flag iris, dandelion, willowherb etc.
Weather permitting the course will be outside on the nature reserve, but we have an indoor space available in case of poor weather. Please come dressed for the outdoors.
Coffee, tea and biscuits will be provided.
We are committed to keeping our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT attend if you are unwell, or testing positive for an infectious illness, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.
Please note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park, a few minutes walk from the centre.
