During a craft weekend you will discover special historical crafts from earlier times, from prehistory to the Middle Ages. There are several historical residents working with their hands, for example:
Demonstrating and teaching bronze casting at Butser Ancient farm for 19 years.
My speciality is developing and testing Bronze Age weapons, working with leading experts and students to develop the knowledge at Butser.
Guided tours of stilt houses built as in prehistoric times, guided hikes and an educational workshop dedicated to animal tracks.
The ancient inhabitants of the stilts return for a day to tell you about their times and we will have a (bio) beekeeper with us!

About the Event
Following the 6th experimental archaeological workshop, in which we learn how to create ancient cooking pots from the Bronze Age, we will exhibit several different models of ancient cooking pots that were used in that era in various different places in the Mediterranean.
Please join us for a weekend of fun and learning!
Research conducted over the past century has conclusively demonstrated that textiles played an important role in Mesoamerica, particularly from the Classic period (AD 250-900) through contemporary cultures.
During this workshop we weave a simple woolen belt as it was made in the Bronze Age (the looms we use are derived from a Bronze Age belt loom). In the morning we start with a short introduction about weaving (what is weaving, how does a simple weaving frame work) and how a weight loom works.
