The children enjoyed a fascinating Bronze Age workshop led by Millie’s family, who live on a farm near Hastings where a real Bronze Age settlement was discovered. They explored the Stone and Bronze Ages, handled examples of ancient tools, and learned how people lived closely with nature. Everyone had a go at making cordage from nettles and created their own clay pinch pots inspired by Bronze Age pottery. It was a fun, hands-on session that really brought history to life!
What a lovely hands-on way to bring history to life! The clay pinch pots and nettle cordage sound brilliant. We tried something similar at home with our grandchildren and decided which ancient craft to attempt first by spinning a random picker wheel (https://wheelnames.org) — it really built the excitement. What a treat for the children!
