Medieval Craft Workshops

Fire and sustenance. Fire-starting with flint and steel the old way, and baking unleavened bread over coals – these activities always run under an instructor's continuous supervision, with the site prepared in advance to meet fire-safety requirements. Because open flame is involved, we recommend this cluster outdoors even when the rest of the event is indoors.

Handicrafts and adornment. Belt and sash weaving, brass jewellery forging, leather accessory making, clay modelling, rope-making – crafts where guests see the result of their work immediately and take it home.

Warfare and heraldry. Chainmail ring assembly and a heraldry workshop where each guest designs their own family or team coat of arms – a popular pick for corporate events as a team-identity exercise.

Science and health. Quill-pen calligraphy and herbalism workshops covering the medicinal plants and infusions people relied on centuries ago – slower-paced activities that work especially well indoors.

We scale the craft workshops to your event's size and budget – from a single stall with one blacksmith to a full artisan village running all four clusters at once. The stations stay open for the whole event, so guests circulate freely between activities rather than queuing for a fixed time slot.

The final price depends on how many crafts you choose, their duration, and any extra order details, and we work out the exact figure around your programme. A single small piece, such as a leather accessory or a brass ornament, comes together quickly, so guests can easily try several crafts over the course of an evening.

The format works equally well at corporate events, town festivals, and family occasions. For well-known Lithuanian companies, craft workshops often double as an informal team-building tool – working together at the forge or designing a shared coat of arms brings colleagues closer than another round of small talk at the buffet.

Since most crafts – calligraphy, heraldry, weaving, clay modelling – don't need open flame, we run them indoors just as successfully, which makes the format a good fit for conference centres, offices, or any indoor venue when outdoor space isn't available or the weather doesn't cooperate.

Before the event, we work out together which theme fits your occasion better – the classic knightly and medieval setting, or the Baltic ancestral-heritage version with its own crafts, symbols and stories. The same four-cluster structure – fire and sustenance, handicrafts, warfare and heraldry, science and health – runs in either theme; only the narration, props and masters' costumes change.

Building the programme starts with a conversation about the event itself: a children's party, where simplicity and safety matter most, or a corporate evening, where the crafts become a reason for colleagues to talk and compete in a friendly way. We suggest a specific mix of crafts based on that, rather than pushing one fixed package – which is why two different events with a craft village rarely look the same.
