SUMMARY:Bronze Age Sword Casting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Suitable for those aged 16 and over\nJoin Dr James Dilley\, an experimental archaeologist and craftsman\, to cast your own sword and learn more about how they were made in the Bronze Age.\nLocation: Enys Gardens\, St Gluvius\, Penryn\, TR10 9LB – What3Words: ///diplomat.ooze.quite \nPrice: £250 per person \nThe first swords in Europe were made of bronze. They are an iconic development in the human story as social pressure led to tension between groups and individuals. Swords were as much a tool of fighting as they were status symbols. During the workshop\, participants will cast a replica of a late Bronze Age Ewart Park sword. These were made and used from 3000-2700 BP\, and have been found across Britain and occasionally further afield. With many different types of late Bronze Age sword in circulation at this time\, the Ewart Park is very much a ‘British’ style. \nWorkshop 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. \nThe 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. \nThis workshop has been part-funded by FEAST Cornwall. \nDr James Dilley from Ancient Craft will lead the workshop. More information about him can be found here www.ancientcraft.co.uk/james-dilley \n  \nThis event is in aid of Cornwall Heritage Trust – the small\, independent charity protecting Cornwall’s heritage for everyone.

SUMMARY:Bronze Age Axe Casting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Suitable for those aged 16 and over\nJoin Dr James Dilley\, an experimental archaeologist and craftsman\, to cast your own Bronze Age axe and learn more about how they were used.\nLocation: Enys Gardens\, St Gluvius\, Penryn\, TR10 9LB – What3Words: ///diplomat.ooze.quite \nPrice: £130 per person \nDiscover how some of the earliest metal tools were produced in prehistoric Britain. Just over 4000 years ago\, people started to make the first axes from copper into simple flat\, triangular shapes from an opencast mould. Soon after\, people started adding tin to make bronze which was harder and easier to cast. \nSuitable for those aged 16 and over\, this workshop will offer you the chance to hone your skills in this 4000-year-old craft and create a replica Bronze Age axe to take home. \nDuring the workshop\, attendees can choose from a selection of different axes types to cast including: \nThe flaring blade of the flanged axe – This is an iconic tool from prehistory and appears as both artefacts and in rock art at Stonehenge. Their tools were often highly decorated\, suggesting a close relationship with their owners. \nA middle Bronze Age palstave axe – These axes were developed from the earlier “flanged axe” which lacked high ridges\, a haft stopper and a loop. Metallurgy analysis shows Welsh copper can be found in over 90% of the early palstave axes found around NW Europe. \nWorkshop 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 axe to take home at the end of the day. Students can then begin filing off the casting flash\, start cleaning the surfaces of the axe and even begin decorating it with punches. \nThe day will also include a brief talk about the Bronze Age and axe development. \nThis workshop has been part-funded by FEAST Cornwall. \nDr James Dilley from Ancient Craft will lead the workshop. More information about him can be found here www.ancientcraft.co.uk/james-dilley \n  \nThis event is in aid of Cornwall Heritage Trust – the small\, independent charity protecting Cornwall’s heritage for everyone.
