Join us for a day of traditional jewish crafts, exploring the practical skills, traditions and forgotten stories of our heritage skills

We will be joined by some wonderful crafts people and teachers who will be generously sharing their skills in candle making, scribing, stone carving and spinning wool for tzittzit (the fringes on the edge of a talit).

Absolutely all welcome. All classes assume no prior experience with any craft or with judaism :)

Everyone will have a chance to try two different crafts for a good enough chunk of time to make something themself properly, one in the morning one in the afternoon. With the exception of those doing stone carving which requires the whole day.

How to get here

We have aCommunity Rideshare Board (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YwK-MkVIqpXEVcVLPentwIj-ApSz2mj3dv6d37WtxUk/edit?usp=sharing) to make carpooling and sharing cabs from stations to Sadeh easier.

Access

All are welcome including children.

If you're feeling unwell with anything potentially infectious please stay home and join us another time when you feel better! Refunds available.

We have a wide range of activities to engage in, and will always try to find ways for each visitor to get involved in a way that suits their abilities and needs.

For this event our activities will mainly be in the the main house. The house has step free access and an accessible toilet.

When the weather is dry many people find the grass of the main field to be traversable on a wheelchair. This is much easier when it has been recently mowed. We are happy to mow before you come if you let us know a week in advance. We can also advise on the condition of the ground before you visit, and arrange for activities in spaces that are accessible to you.

At any of our events you are welcome to take things at your own pace and drop in and out as you need to. Animals (service or otherwise) are welcome at all our events there is space to lie down and rest if you need. More information on ouraccess (https://sadehfarm.co.uk/access) page. The more info we have the better plans we can make, so please be in touch with any access needs!
