Bow Making Workshop

October 21 - October 22

This class is part of Peter Yencken’s 2023 Making Weekend.

Have you ever wanted to make your own bow?

This weekend is an opportunity for you to dig deep with an entire weekend focused on making a wooden longbow complete with a string. You’ll go from a rough cut stave to a functioning bow. Things you’ll learn include how to rough out the form, balance the limbs, and string the bow. Peter will also make you an arrow so you can test the whole thing out.

Learn new skills, and make new friends. Bowmaking is just one of the projects Peter is offering this weekend, so you will be working alongside a number of other people making a number of different things!
