The Bronze Casting Festival at the Bronzezeithof, Uelsen, Germany
Abstract
The first Bronze Casting Festival was held in May 2017 at the Bronzezeithof in Uelsen, Germany. The event was organised by Martijn van Es, who has an active interest in bronze casting and experimental archaeology. A call was put forward to skilled metal workers to come to Uelsen to conduct experiments and to exchange information about their experiences working with bronze. In addition to metalworking, formal talks were also planned.
