Craft & Armouring
All about making stuff!
Ever wanted to sew a tunic, create jewellery, make armour? The AAF holds regular craft nights and workshops where you can indulge your creative side and create products in a period style.
Where and when?
Craft nights are held simultaneously with Tuesday night training, starting at around 5:30 at the ANU:

Armouring and helmet workshops are held irregularly, on request and at the convenience of our armourers. Please email the armourers if you would like to organise a workshop.
