Peterborough Museum
Tutor: Sue Kirk

£60

Flag Fen Archaeology Park
Tutor: Dave Chapman

Join experienced tutor
Christine Robinson to discover
the fundamental principles of
calligraphy. Learn the

to construct letters through
demonstrations and individual
practice. With personalised
support, by the end of the day
you’ll have designed and
created a bookmark, greetings
card or short quotation.

Spend the day making a small,
round, stake and strand basket
using willow. Learn traditional
techniques including pairing,
waling, randing, slyping and
how to finish the basket with a
rod border.

Chapman returns to Flag Fen

amongst the atmospheric
surroundings of roundhouses
and fenland, the workshop
will include the casting,
cleaning, finishing,
sharpening, and finally the
hilting of the finished blade.
Participants undertake all
handwork themselves, so
this workshop is not for the
faint-hearted!

Plus take home all the
equipment you’ll need to put
your new calligraphy skills into
action! Lunch is included.

Basket weaving dates back
thousands of years and recent
excavations suggest that tools
and techniques have remained
remarkably similar. Wellknown local tutor Sue Kirk has
15 years basketry experience
and uses Somerset and locally
grown willow. Lunch is
included.

Please note that safety is our
priority and as such, use of
power tools and hot metal
pouring will be undertaken by
workshop facilitators. Lunch
is included on both days.

Retelling the story of Roman Peterborough...
The Roman town of Durobrivae lay to the west of the modern city. Located on a major
trade route, archaeological discoveries suggest it was a focus of enormous wealth and
status, with current research still revealing surprises.
New project ‘Romans Revisited’ aims to establish a centre of excellence in
Peterborough for the interpretation of Roman heritage across multiple sites.
These lectures will explore our local Roman story and its wider context.

discoveries on the site of the lost Walbrook river.

Roman writers contrast the masculine rule
of their empire with the dangerously powerful
role of women such as Boudicca amongst some
of their barbarian subjects. What role did
women have in the power structures of the
Roman empire?

Dr Upex returns to Peterborough following his
well-received talk on the Water Newton Fort last
year. Best known locally for his extensive work at
Durobrivae, he lectures widely in the UK.

Conserving one log boat is bad enough,
but having to deal with eight all at once is
a daunting prospect...
Flag Fen Archaeology Park
Speaker: Ian Panter
2 March, 7.30pm
£5, £3 concs & Heritage Pass holders
The Must Farm boat assemblage represents one
of the largest finds in the UK. The decision to
recover each vessel intact, instead of cutting
them into smaller sections, has been integral to
their conservation. Since April 2013, they have
been stored at a bespoke conservation facility at
Flag Fen and are undergoing detailed condition
assessments. Join Ian Panter, Principal
Conservator for York Archaeological Trust who
designed the conservation strategy for the boats,
to hear what the future holds.
