The craft weekends are entirely devoted to the special historical crafts from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. Every weekend there is a different theme, such as pottery, blacksmithing or clothing and textile processing. 

For anyone interested in crafts or history in general, these are the weekends you don't want to miss!

Sweet, sour and salty past

Bones, legs, horns, antlers and teeth - it's wonderful what you can use from animals. When there was no plastic, for example, combs and buttons were made from antlers and were accordingly expensive.

Horn is elastic and becomes soft when heated - not only bow ends are made from it, but all kinds of everyday devices.

In the two-day course, the participants learn which work steps are required to make a bow and make their own bow under expert guidance.

We would like to invite you to participate in the 2nd Conference of the Faculty of Archaeology ‘PrzeszÅ‚ość ma przyszÅ‚ość!/ The Past Has a Future!’, which will take place, in a hybrid format at the Faculty of Archaeology, University of Warsaw (Poland) and online on March 22-26th, 2021
