Participants discover how fighters in the Saxon wars protected themselves from sword and axe blows or arrowheads. Inspired by historical models from the early Middle Ages, they make their own round shields out of cardboard - with a shield boss for the handle in the middle, as can also be found in the exhibition. With an eye for detail and skilled craftsmanship, the participants design their shield, which is both functional and individual. At the end of the course, they take their self-made shield home with them - a unique piece that brings the history of the Saxon Wars and medieval craftsmanship to life.
