Bronze Axe/Dagger Casting Workshop
Sat 21 Sept or Sun 22 Sep, 10am-4pm
£140pp
Take inspiration from Must Farm and join experimental archaeological Dr James Dilley of Ancient Craft for a day all about Bronze Age metalwork. The process of casting bronze is a fascinating one. The day will begin with a 1-hour introductory talk to metalworking in the Bronze Age. 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.
A hands-on archaeology workshop organised by Peterborough Museum
