This one-day course is an introduction to the Austrian scythe and the many benefits of using one to manage grass meadows. You will learn how to set up the scythe, to mow comfortably and to sharpen the scythe blade with a whetstone. Bring you own scythe or buy an Austrian scythe on site.
This course will be repeated on 15th June 2019.
Course will cover the art of the bow-making and the use of bows in hunting and warfare. This is a practical hands-on course. Participants will learn to shape and form traditional bows, to make string from natural raw materials. At the end of the course, participants will leave with their very own bow.

Pierre Wind is busy both days with insect snacks from prehistoric times, Roman dishes for young and old, to medieval roasts.
The annual Iron Smelting Days are the largest gathering of its kind in Europe, with blacksmiths, artists and archaeologists gathering around a dozen or so iron smelting furnaces. It is a unique chance to learn a lot in very short time about the process of producing iron in the old days.
Early Textile Study Group Conference 2024
ON THE EDGE: Textile and Garment Edge, Borders and Trimmings
As registration continues for EXARC's 2024 conference on Digitalisation in Open-Air Museums and Reconstructions, we are also very excited to announce the dates and location for our 2025 Experimental Archaeology Conference - EAC14.
Since 2019 I have been delivering living history sessions to museums with a group called Weorod. Within this group, I have interpreted and analysed dig reports from sites, mainly in southern England.
This conference is open to all people with a museum or technical background who are interested in digital tools in the cultural sector. Our focus is on museums and other parties working with reconstructions (for example replica ships or other constructions that are not permanently tied to a museum).
