THE JOURNEYMAN CAMP & SMOKEHOUSE
Charter our Artisan Food School and Installation
The Journeyman Camp and Smokehouse is an itinerant school to hire for events, that holds space for the remembering and democratisation of traditional food preservation methods, allowing us to engage with the landscape and build community.
Since 2016, Up There The Last has been giving courses and workshops internationally. The Booley and the Rustico are developments to host coastal and mountain traditions, bringing people to learn from their given geographical contexts.
The Journeyman Camp is an entire, bookable setup to bring to events and festivals, with it’s own set of courses and robust itinerary, channeling the nomadic nature of producing food anywhere from any given landscape in the spirit of the booley tradition when we would have travelled with the herd and made cheese and butter from the land.
Featuring three large tents for foul weather, tables and benches for communal gathering, we cover cultured butter churning, natural cheesemaking, hot and cold fish smoking, meat curing, talks, tastings, foraging, remembered recipe sessions etc.
Smokehouse is an installation developed with land artist Will Bock, featuring traditional fish smoking combined with the communal transformation of the land into a beautiful sugàn rope using wild grasses.
The Journeyman Camp and Smokehouse operate internationally.
Recent commissions include IMMA in Dublin (Irish Museum of Modern Art) IE, Campfire Stories Festival NL, Fforest Gather UK etc.
