Palaeolithic

Have you always wanted to learn how to tan (fish) skin? During this day workshop we will start making salmon leather. We do this by using fat-tanning: one of the oldest methods of turning rough skin into a beautiful and similar piece of leather. This method is not easy and requires a lot of time, but is certainly worth the hard work.

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.

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.
