Great first day at Aldbourne on #diggingbandofbrothers - with the base pads of a 101 Airborne hut and the knife of a US serviceman found by one of his 101 successors - Currahee! An ideal way to remember #VEDay79 #archaeology #wellbeing #veterans

🌱 Last year, Will taught us how to make cordage using Nettle! Some of us made friendship bracelets, rooting the craft experience in giving and making for others!

Last year The Sanctuary had an amazing worship with Hayden from Hengistbury Head learning flint knapping! Turns out, we’d never be without tools, the sanctuary team are a dab hand at flint working!

Yesterday we spent the day coppicing with the @ATCranborne
Despite the rain we had a fantastic day, some of us learning a new skill or two, having lunch in the woods and of course popping into the centres long house and round house! What a treat!

In last weeks session, we had another go at making shoes! Lead by our lovely Sarah and inspired by examples from 8325-8100 BP found in America, we managed to fashion ourselves some footwear using only rope, our hands and feet!

In March, The Sanctuary will have been going for one whole year!
To celebrate, join us on the 26th of February for the “Seasons of The Sanctuary” exhibit in the Lee Gallery on Talbot campus
