Neolithic

Come and visit the open day / opening of the PAW “island”!

Last year we have been busy making this new location workable. A number of workshops are already planned this year and craft days and children's parties are coming!

To celebrate this, I invite you and your family to drop by and get to know this small piece of land and a lot of lovely people that PAW works with!

A unique opportunity to learn how to tan a hide with fur in a prehistoric and modern way. You will be taught by the well known Dr. Theresa Kamper.

This is a 2 days workshop which will be held at an outdoor terrain in Nieuwegein, The Netherlands. We will use fox skins.

Will you join us?

Come and make your own basket in a relaxed but supportive atmosphere. On this two-day workshop, you will be able to take on a more ambitious project than you would on the one-day class. It is suitable both for beginners and people who have made baskets previously. Typically, you can expect to make something like a shopping basket or the equivalent.

Come and learn this age-old skill of turning a bundle of twigs into a beautiful and useful basket. You will make a small basket such as a fruit bowl. You will also learn how to grow, harvest and prepare willow for the weaving.

This one-day craft course will be running on the following dates: Saturday 16th May and Saturday 15th August
