Craftwork – Trainer the Trainer

We gained funding to continue to teach antler crafts in Uist. We ran a series of workshops in February/March and followed them up later in the year.

We taught people how to make simple composite combs, from plate and tooth blanks, to assembly with rivets, to teeth cutting and decoration.

Festivals 2024

Greencrafts@Glastonbury

We returned to the farm in June sharing craft, antler, archaeology and conversation.

Baa-archaeology: Science of the lambs@Green Man

At Green Man festival we explored the long history of sheep in Britain through a series of activities.

We need ewe (and you) to join our flock for sheep thrills. Our baa-archaeological scientists help you to explore how the 32 million woolly critters found in Britain today came to fill our hills, provide wool for our clothes and milk for our ice cream.

With over 90 British breeds to choose from we want you to come and find your flock and trace your sheep family’s history across time. From wild, hairy and free to fat, fluffy and farmed – just what happened to ewe and yours? Share you stories via our sheep social media – Fleecebook, Inta-Lamb, and TikFlok.

Pumpkin Art 2024

The pumpkins represent “Dunchraigaig Deere

,” discovered inside the Dunchraigaig Cairn in Kilmartin Glen, Scotland. Dating back to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (4,000 to 5,000 years ago), these are the first unambiguous prehistoric animal carvings found in Scotland. They include two male red deer stags, two likely juvenile deer, and another possible animal carving, carved using a “pecking” technique.
