Bringing History to life
We teach skills from different time periods to inspire and engage students to be curious and to create connections to the past.
We are the difference between reading about history and actually feeling the weight of it in your hands.
Our ethos is to immerse students in dynamic activities for a deeper learning experience. Students engage with the context of the past through everyday skills, and understand the complexity of people's lives. We engage students through comparison and critical thinking, as we endeavour to create transferable knowledge to different contexts.
We have worked with hundreds of enthusiastic school children, numerous craft course students, members of the public presenting Living History Skills and Elderly Residential Home Residents showing ways of life from the past.
We are experts in aspects of heritage and can be contacted for consultancy work and to build historic structures in your school or community venue.
