a
“Have-a-go” Bushcraft Activities for Children with Big Stan
Bushman and music-maker Stan Ceglinski is the image of the timber-getters of old, the early pioneers. With a deep love of timber and vast knowledge of heritage bushcraft, with the grandest sense of showmanship, his power-packed shows have been delighting audiences of all ages, Australia-wide, for many years.
“I tell life stories, make it a bit of fun and have a bit of fun, but I’m really serious about fostering wood work in children.”
Date: throughout both days of the festival – Saturday October 30 and Sunday October 31, 2021
Tutor: Australian Bushman Stan Ceglinski
Project: Stan will be bringing 3 shaving horses and sapling timber for ready for hands-on “have-a-go” activities for children – so bring along your children to have a unique experience with Stan using the shaving horse, drawknife and a 100-year old cross cut saw! They’ll carve a pair of musical clapsticks from specially selected timber species to take home as a treasured memento of their time with Stan.
