Early Middle Ages

Bread has been one of the most important foods in Machland since ancient times. Reason enough to take a look at how bread was baked in the past in our “Bread Baking” workshop during the Family Afternoon.

An introduction to the traditional craft of enamelling – but with a playful, contemporary edge. Local artist Sophie Buckingham will help you explore mark-making techniques using stencils, scraffito and embellishments. You will experiment with pattern and colour through the medium of kiln fired vitreous enamel on copper.
