Join Lake and Oak Coppersmithing for this unique bronze casting workshop.  This creative workshop will give you a glimpse into the past techniques of Bronze Age casting.

Under the supervision of Caron and Matthew, you will have the option of casting a wide range of jewellery-sized objects in bronze, such as acorns, shells, rings or if you prefer you can cast objects inspired by the famous TV show shot in Northern Ireland, Game of Thrones.

Not only will you hear stories of the Bronze Age in Ireland and globally to fuel your creativity, you will also get to bring home your items on the same day. 

Enjoy complimentary coffee/tea and traybakes, provided from Eden Pottery during the experience.
