Learn Primitive Skills at Falling Leaves and Rivercane Rendezvous

Our program focus is daily top quality instruction in dozens of ancestral and heritage primitive skills such as matchless fire making, edible and medicinal plants, stone tool creation and use, ancient weaponry and basket making, just to name a few. Since 1985 our camps have been a place where new friendships are forged, old friendships refined, and the empowering knowledge of pioneer, survival, native and traditional primitive skills is shared. Past participants have become proficient in skills that have helped them redefine life goals and directions as well as broaden their knowledge of sustainable life ways, connection to nature, and the power of community. After a full day of hands on instruction, evening programs give you the opportunity to join in the revival of the great oral tradition of storytelling around the council fire, or the option to pull up a chair in any of the many camps where homegrown and traditional Appalachian music is played, or the opportunity to answer the call of the drum and dance around the fire under a star filled sky. Striving for cooperation, generosity of spirit, tolerance and harmonious relationships, we welcome the skills, art, music and culture of all human ethnicities.

Shoemaking Class at Rivercane Rendezvous 2010

A shoemaking class will be held at Rivercane Rendezvous at Layfayette Ga. April 18-25 2010. The shoes we will be making in our class are going to be hiking shoes and boots. I will provide all of the materials for the class. All you will need to bring are a few common tools. It takes about 3 to 4 days to make a pair of hiking boots,depending on how fast you are and how long your day. I make boots to wear in rough country all the time. They are practical, tough , and good looking.I make them using all hand tools, with the exception of a sanding belt to clean them up when they are finished.
