“Met these boys at Valhalla festival and I have to say they are among the nicest, most knowledgeable and approachable bushcraft experts I’ve ever met.Very talented and dedicated craftsmen, and I would recommend anyone to take one of their courses.”
-Jon (Basingstoke)
Valhalla Festival 2025
“An excellent 2 days axe forging, in great company, with Sylvankin.
From a billet of mild steel, we were skilfully guided through the process of forge welding, shaping, and creating an axe head on the first day. The following day we made an axe handle, from a split seasoned log and also hardened and tempered the axe head before joining the two together.
Thanks to Frank and Alex for their expertise and sharing their knowledge.”

Axe Forging+Hafting Workshop
“My 12yr old son thoroughly enjoyed the bow crafting workshop. It was a very positive experience for him as a novice, he was guided with expert knowledge and patience. The workshop leader was very attentive, a great teacher and enabled my son to create something he is truly proud of. The food provided was yummy and tailored to my sons dietary needs. It was great to camp in the woods, enjoy nature and work in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend this to anyone!”
