About
The Course
Find out how people in prehistory used amber to create a range of personal ornamentation, from buttons, beads, pendants and necklaces! Which artefact will you choose to replicate?
Our day will begin with an introductory talk into personal ornamentation and the use of amber from the Stone Age and into the Bronze Age. We’ll take a closer look at what artefacts have been found in Britain, what they’re made from and how experimental archaeology can help to better understand how these objects were made. The rest of the day will be spent working with a piece of amber to shape and drill it into a finished piece. We'll be using authentic tools and towards the end of the day, we'll use lime bast to create cordage so you can string up and wear your finished piece home.
Amber has been collected and shaped by people for thousands of years…
