Skep Making

Over the weekend you will get a chance to explore the role of skeps in beekeeping and look into methods of manufacture; consider other uses for what is actually a charming rustic container; start making a skep using tools that can be borrowed; be provided with sufficient long straw and binding cane to complete a skep; be shown techniques for both starting and finishing a skep and have a leaflet with diagrams to allow the skep to be finished at home The Workshop runs Saturday-Sunday 26-27 April.
