Description

Unleash your inner medieval warrior in this immersive two-day armouring workshop with armourer Rob Hayes. Step into the world of 15th-century knights, where steel plate armour combined protection with flexibility. Forge your own custom arm harness, including vambraces (forearm), couters (elbows), and rearbraces (upper arm), all tailored to your measurements in the iconic high medieval gothic style. For advanced students, there's the chance to level up with a set of pauldrons (shoulders). No prior experience is needed—just bring your passion for history and craftsmanship. Held at Ballarat's Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
