What you will do
Single session
This fascinating insight into ancient history will get everyone involved. You will learn how to pack a casting box ‘flask’ with a Bronze Age reproduction pattern. For safety reasons the tutor will pour the molten bronze but you can observe the transformation of solid to molten metal. Then everyone will be responsible for cleaning up and polishing their own axe and can take the axe home.
The tutor will be available to answer all questions and provide 1-1 tuition throughout the day.
All tools and materials supplied.
Several different patterns will be available to cast.
