What we'll do
Participants learn how pyrolysis can be harnessed to transform familiar organic objects, like pine cones, into their pure carbon forms, then discover how this process can be used to create various useful charcoal types. These include drawing crayons, water-filtering and deodorizing porous charcoals, compost enriching biochar and charcoal briquettes. We will discuss how making charcoal links into the carbon cycle and how that process is being deployed as a tool to fight climate change.
About your mentors
Carbon Farmers
Proprietor of Carbon Farmers family business
We are small family business based near Tenbury Wells in Shropshire. Out of necessity we developed a charcoal making stove while living in Kenya. Our first simple design has now evolved into an outdoor stove, The Tawi (which means stick in Swahili), that we believe allows students to explore the fascination attributes and opportunities associated with fire.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
