About Claire

Claire’s own journey has led her on a path of deep nature connection, learning new life skills along the way. Inspired by the indigenous teachings Claire has developed a deep sense of awe and reverence for the earth we live on.

She created Wild Wood Crafts to share her passions, gifts, and talents to others with the idea that she could be part of a change movement to create a better world to live in by connecting people back to nature.

She has a unique quality of making you feel welcome and bringing the best out of people. She loves creating a safe space for learning new skills and empowering you to be your best self. But  most of all she loves seeing you all having fun.

Coppicing

Coppicing is an ancient sustainable woodland management technique that uses nature’s capacity for regeneration from a living tree and way to work with nature naturally, in that when you cut a tree down to its stool it does not die but regrows again.
