Medieval forge:
It is by practicing that you become a blacksmith and it is not the blacksmith Nouri Fadli who will tell you the opposite. You will be able to attend blacksmithing demonstrations and even learn about its techniques, for free participation, by taking your creation home.
Wool work:
Does sheep's wool intrigue you? How was it used? How was she treated? What tools are used to transform it? Fleece cleaning, combing, spindle spinning testing, comb weaving or even cards are on the program for this activity, which takes you to the 13th and 14th centuries.
11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.: History of fibers and spinning (small game to recognize plant and animal fibers + spinning demonstration).
1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m.: Plant dyeing (history of plants, presentation of plants/colors and dyeing of wool).
3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.: Weaving (presentation of the different professions and mini-initiation).
Medicine, surgery and the stomach:
Science and medicine: Who were these doctors, how and by whom were they trained? How was care taken? With what substances? Have the remedies and methods changed today? The surgeon was not a man of science, but rather a butcher or even a barber! What are the tools to butcher your patients?
When baby shows up: Many people surround the future mother but childbirth is a women's business and men are excluded. We give birth at home, in a room prepared, even decorated for the occasion. The midwife or midwife accompanies the delivery. We also decorate the room.
