Workshops we'd like to see (suggestions)
- More blacksmithery (as per 2012)
- How to make a Klein bottle
- Green woodworking ([this sort of thing])
- The headhacking guy
- How to butcher a rabbit - This is controversial and is not a workshop some people would like to see. It is likely to put some people off attending EMFCamp.
- Stained glass
- Knitting
- Jewelry making (silver clay etc.)
