Woodworking Workshop for Young Adults

Make a boardgame out of wood using ancient techniques and tools with experimental archaeologist and wood worker, Marc Cox.

An exciting opportunity to learn how to work and carve wood for young people aged between 12-16.

These sessions will allow participants to use a range of hand tools to turn a log into a finished, complete board game.

Under the guidance of experimental archaeologist and wood worker, Marc Cox, learn how to safely cleave, carve and shape green timber.

Spending time in and around the Anglo Saxon Hall, we’ll talk about how people in the past made things out of wood; the tools, techniques and finished products.

Ancient woodworking is an endangered craft, so after this workshop you’ll be among the select few who have the knowledge to preserve this heritage skill.

All young people must be accompanied for safeguarding reasons, but the accompanying adults do not need a ticket.
