As part of our special exhibition we offer many interesting events.
Workshop: Dyeing and Textile Techniques
From thread to color – textile technology like the Celts
Without thread there are no clothes.
Under this motto, we embark on a journey back in time to the early Celtic world of textile processing. In this two-day workshop, participants will learn basic thread-making techniques: Using a hand-made hand spindle, we will spin wool and flax – just like our ancestors.
But that's not all: We dye the spun yarns over an open fire using traditional natural materials. This creates intense red tones from madder, deep indigo blue, and vibrant yellow from selected plants or fungi. Dyeing is not only a creative process, but also a play with chemical intricacies – especially the pH value, which significantly determines color and durability. This ancient knowledge of acids, alkalis, and dyes was already important to the Celts – and is revived here.
A course for everyone who wants to rediscover old crafts – with time, leisure, and enthusiasm.
INFO
Director: Henny Fleck MA.
Course: 2-day workshop from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
95 euros per person (including museum entrance and materials)

Workshop: Metal workshop - Iron Age fibula
Following the example of Iron Age originals, participants in this workshop will create functional brooches. Through targeted bending and hammering, a wire in silver, copper, or iron will be transformed into a fibula according to the so-called La Tène system. Participants will learn how to craft the technical intricacies of a spring-loaded mechanism, including the pin and pin catch, just as they did over 2000 years ago.

Workshop: Felting with water and needle
Felting is one of humanity's oldest textile techniques – and its versatility continues to fascinate today. In this creative workshop, participants will learn both dry felting with a needle and wet felting with soap and water.
Workshop: Making grass or rush baskets
People have always needed containers to collect and store things.
To do this, they made use of the materials that nature provided them with. They used these to make baskets and the like. Unfortunately, there are only a few rare archaeological finds, as the organic materials used are only preserved under the most favourable conditions.
2-Day Workshop: Metal Workshop - Mold Making and Silver Casting
2-Day Workshop: Metal Workshop – Mold Making and Silver Casting
The Iron Age is primarily known for iron smelting in metallurgical terms. The processing of bronze, gold, and silver, which had already begun in the preceding Bronze Age, continued at a high level in the subsequent Iron Age, as evidenced by the jewelry finds from the time of the Celtic prince of Glauberg.
This two-day workshop teaches the prehistoric fundamentals of metal casting. On the first day, participants create a two-part clay mold based on their own ideas or inspired by Iron Age originals. On the second day, silver is melted in the Celtic forge on the grounds and poured into the clay molds. Using only the simplest of tools, participants create a unique object, such as a piece of jewelry, a keychain, or similar item. The cast object can then be filed and polished by hand, if desired.
