In this class, you'll learn about the art of firemaking the primitive way. Although the word "primitive" has been historically weaponized against people of color, in this workshop we will be connecting to the ancestral way of creating flame---no lighter and no matches. You'll get hands-on with the tools -constructing your own firemaking set with natural materials. If you like to work with your hands, make smoke, and spark flames, come experience the thrill of primitive firemaking.
