Bring out your inner Viking in this full-day spear-making experience with armourer, Rob Hayes.
Throughout human history, the spear has been prolific in hunting and warfare. It holds a prominent place in their cultural memory, from Homer’s epics to the Viking sagas and Medieval legends.
In this full-day workshop, you will learn to make a historical Viking or Medieval spearhead in a traditional style using traditional forging techniques such as forge welding. You will forge your spear with a blunt tip like those used at reenactment events.
Held at Ballarat's Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
