Viking Age

Precious Jewelry for Men and Women

Viking summer is back this year too! Sign up for one of this summer's three-day camps for kids. We live Viking life, test crafts and immerse ourselves in the fairytale world of Viking Age. The events with more information about the three different weeks can be found here on Facebook!

_____Workshop: In the shield workshop

I'm going to be doing a Facebook Livestream relating to the archaeological evidence for nalbinding in the historical Viking-Age. There have been many discussions over the years as to where people get their interpretations of nalbinding from for Historical Reenactment and Living History.

Bones, legs, horns, antlers and teeth - it's wonderful what you can use from animals. When there was no plastic, for example, combs and buttons were made from antlers and were accordingly expensive.

Horn is elastic and becomes soft when heated - not only bow ends are made from it, but all kinds of everyday devices.

Viking Week

Activities for all ages! Meet Vikings from across the world showing their crafts and selling their Viking Age replica goods. Vikings arriving early at Foteviken for the market will use the Viking town as a gathering spot for craftsmen. Here they exchange knowledge and teach various crafting techniques.

Something exciting is happening this weekend!

We are teaming up with Jorvik Viking Museum in York England for their annual Viking event. This year it will take place online with 6 days of exclusive Viking content and ending with a live event this Saturday, and that’s where we come in!!

Following the Potter’s Wheel Conference in November, we will have a potter’s chat open to anybody. Discussion is open about any pottery related subject, wheel throwing, clays, ethnography, but also pottery trade, using ceramics, breakage and their archaeology.

Archaeological experimentation is fundamentally a methodological tool used in fundamental research and has now been established, in an increasingly consistent way, in the fields of formal and informal training.
