Step back into the Iron Age and discover the art of ancient textiles in this hands-on workshop with Paula Constantine from AdGefrin.

Explore braiding and cord-making, including tablet braids, and try your hand at producing sprang and nalbinding. These techniques are not only historically fascinating but can also be applied in many creative ways today.

The session is designed to be friendly, relaxed, and fun, giving participants the opportunity to enjoy the techniques and feel inspired to continue exploring and experimenting at home.
