“I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Dave is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient teacher and utterly passionate about the ancient world. Even when we weren’t making swords, he’s a great person to talk to.”
Philip Boyes
Sword Casting Workshop
“If you’re working on the Bronze Age and interested in technology, weapons, warfare or craft-production then this course is essential. You’ll learn more about bronze, its manufacture and properties in a day and a half than from a lifetime of books.”
