2006 Winter school

We've just finished the Winter School for 2006. Workshops on it included: Solar hot water, knife and axe sharpening (using files and knife sharpening stones), the establishment of a 'tribal work co-operative', smoking kahawai and then making a French vegetable soup and a French fish and potato pie (using local available ingredients), Establishing a "Post Carbon Outpost", and videos including "The End of Suburbia", "Population, Energy and Arithmetic" and "The History of Oil".

Although it was a small winter school it was successful in that it brought like-minded people together and passed on valuable skills and knowledge. (I've just had a dear little baby and didn't have time to properly promote it this time around.)

We'll be running a summer school in January or February 2007. Workshops for that are planned to include: Building a HPV (Human Powered Vehicle) - such as reclining bicyles, Making woolen nappy covers (a Scandinavian method), fishing from a 14 ft catamaran on the Karamea River Estuary, flax weaving, and alternative energy systems.
