Embers, Wood, and Craft: Experience Stone Age Techniques at WaldHaus Freiburg
How are spoons, bowls, plates, or cups made without modern machines? At the Sunday workshop "Ember Firing like in the Stone Age" on November 1, 2026, participants will immerse themselves in a primitive form of woodworking. At the fire pit in front of the woodworking shop of WaldHaus Freiburg, practical experimentation merges with environmental education, community, and a unique event atmosphere.
Crafting with Embers instead of Special Tools
Under the expert guidance of Markus Stickling, M.Sc. in Biology and Geography and nature educator, participants will explore how Stone Age people worked with wood using glowing coals. The embers expand the wood as a unique piece is gradually created step by step. The event experience thrives on immediate involvement, focused work, and the visible result in one’s own hands.
Fire Pit, Carving, and Stick Bread
A cozy audience atmosphere develops around the fire pit. Besides ember firing, the Sunday workshop offers opportunities for carving and baking stick bread. Hot punch from the large kettle adds a warming touch and makes the afternoon a sensory nature experience for families and adults.
