In this workshop, attendees can choose from a selection of different axe types to cast including: The flaring blade of the flanged axe is an iconic tool from prehistory, it appears as both artefacts and in rock art at Stonehenge. These tools were often highly decorated, suggesting a close relationship with its owner. Another option would be to cast a middle Bronze Age palstave axe. Metallurgy analysis shows Welsh copper can be found in over 90% of the early palstave axes found around NW Europe. Workshop students will be guided through making a mould, working the furnace and casting their own axe. Once cast they will have the opportunity to clean and decorate their axe head. Hafting instructions will be given at the end of the workshop.
