About the event

Sword Casting with Ancient Crafts Workshop
Workshop students will prepare their own mould, before working the leather bellows on the charcoal fuelled furnace to melt bronze. They will then cast the liquid metal into their prepared moulds to produce a replica bronze age sword to take home at the end of the day. Students can then begin filing off the casting flash and start cleaning the surfaces of the sword. The workshop also includes a brief talk to contextualise the Bronze Age and swords at the time. Handle making kits will be available to purchase at the end of the workshop.

Dr James Dilley is an experimental archaeologist and flintknapper, specialising in the British Stone Age & Bronze Age. James founded Ancient Craft in 2009, dedicating its focus towards educating and reconnecting people to their prehistoric heritage.
