Neolithic

In this 3 day workshop you will get to work yourself to turn a raw deer skin into a beautiful piece of leather, also known as Buckskin. We go through the whole process step by step with you: from skinning to breaking out the skins. We are also going to use fat tanning; a technique where the brain is used to lubricate the fibers of the skin.

You will learn about the specific work of an archaeologist, about selected archaeological findings and the essentials of protecting archaeological heritage.

Textiles were dyed several thousand years ago. In this practical course, the participants learn which plants are suitable for dyeing, which shades they produce and how they can be used to dye wool.

Where do the midsummer traditions come from? With song, dance and games
we move back in time.

Johanna Lillvik and Sabina Henriksson sing and play on ancient instruments.
