Content

Stone Age people used animal skins and furs to sew their clothes, shoes and bags to protect them from the cold and wet. Clothing finds from the Stone Age are a very rare stroke of luck. The most detailed example of Stone Age clothing was provided by Ötzi, who lived in the Neolithic period. In this workshop you will be given an awl made of bone and leather to make your own small pouch.

Procedure

The workshop begins with an introduction to the Stone Age way of life. Handouts such as animal skins, animal bones and flints illustrate the topic. In the practical part, you will use a bone awl and a leather strap to sew a small leather bag that you can take home with you.
