Take inspiration from Must Farm and join experimental archaeological Dr James Dilley of Ancient Craft for a day all about Bronze Age metalwork.
A quintessential part of a Bronze Age toolkit, the process of casting a bronze axe is a fascinating one. The settlement site at Must Farm has yielded some beautiful examples - some even still hafted. Dr Dilley also crafted replica artefacts, including axes, for the Introducing Must Farm... exhibition.
The day will begin with a 1 hour introductory talk to metalworking in the Bronze Age, covering materials, UK artefacts and manufacturing techniques. Participants will be taken through the process of sand-mould making before choosing an axe or dagger to make their mould with. Each participant will have the chance to cast liquid bronze into their mould. There will be time to clean, polish and decorate the templates in the afternoon.
£140 per person
