Long Bow Workshop at the Rare Trades Centre

Experience the art of crafting a traditional longbow with bowyer, Robert Geddes.

Carefully select the perfect timber and master the use of simple hand tools to create an authentic English-style self-longbow, complete with horn nocks and a reverse-twisted, Flemish-looped bowstring.

At the end of the workshop, you will take your long bow home with you, ready for the next adventure.

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.
