Ancient Craft Workshop: Sprang

Gather around the fire with expert archaeologist, tutor and educator Sally Pointer as she guides you through the art of Sprang.
What is Sprang?
Sprang is a technique of braiding on stretched threads that can be traced back into the Neolithic.
In this introductory session, explore the long history of this warp manipulated textile from prehistory to modern times, handle reconstructed sprang objects, learn to set up a simple frame and get to grips with the basic techniques of interlinking and finishing a project.
You'll be guided step-by-step throughout the process, gaining a solid foundation whilst creating a range of samples in this remarkably versatile craft.
No prior experience is required.
Booking required, £80 per person.
The workshop will take place split between the Avalon Archaeology Centre and the Avalon Marshes Learning Room.
