Day 2 (21.06.2025)
In this first edition, we focussed on the Iron Age, and more concretely on archaeology and (pre)-industrial history.
We offered demonstrations of historical practices and techniques, we were able to present our own archives and historical pieces and were able to exhibit exclusive pieces from our friends from the Rural Museum of Peppeng and Dr. Marc Schaack from AHME. The Hephaistos Brotherhood was also present with blacksmith animations, and of course, there was also food.
International expert Rémy Nicolle was also there for a conference on the history of metallurgy.
The highlight of the day was a demonstration at the low shaft furnace by our team, led by experimental metallurgy expert Romain Bohr, which resulted in the production of a 15kg bloom!
Join us in looking forward to the continuation of this exciting series in the coming years.
