Description
The early Bronze Age metal worker developed his skill in casting tools and weapons using both clay and stone moulds to manufacture copper and bronze artefacts. Here you can see Franco running a workshop with a demo at a primitive Bronze Age foundry, dedicated to reproducing tools, weapons and artefacts from the Bronze Age at the Livelet archaeopark. In the next posts I'll show you details of the process.

The thing about needing to catch up is I get to see such cool things all at once: and THIS is fantastic. I love your sense of color. The lines in this are really drawing me in. There's the pattern of the basket weave, the wall/fence pattern, and the bellows are really interesting. This is a great shot.
