Coracle Building
With David
Freeman
Coracles once served to ferry people
across rivers, but now are used to fish for prized salmon and sea trout.
This nimble, versatile, traditional vessel can be round or oval-shaped
and carefully hand crafted of willow or ash laths woven together in a
basketwork pattern, the hull is covered with fabric or hides and sealed
with pitch.
 
We are delighted to have the pleasure of inviting David Freeman to
Natural Pathways for the very first time.
David has been teaching coracle building for many years now and runs
workshops in many parts of the country.
He will be instructing you on the skills of building your very own
Coracle from willow and if time allows, there will be a trip to the
water to try it out. David will also talk about early boats in
archaeology.
  
All materials are provided on the day.
Please make provision for transporting your coracle home with you.
Approximate dimensions 4’ x 3’ and 12" - 18" deep.
