DIY Antler
No Festivals
In 2020 all face to face events were cancelled – however we did our best to continue remotely.
We created a series of ‘how to’ videos for antler craft from our kitchens and allotments (socially distanced).
This allowed us to host a virtual Greencraft Village @Glastonbury Festival.
We provided information on antler itself. We shared all the steps to create your own ring. These rings are inspired by Viking examples found on our excavations in the Western Isles.
Follow the links to watch the videos. In 2020 we provided Antler Blank Ring Packs via Etsy. We no longer do this, but the info and instructions remain valid.
These video are also used in our Embedding Heritage Craft project.

Note, the blank packs are no longer available.
