NEW!
In August 2019, Hurstwic and Eiríksstaðir held a festival in Iceland, Járngerðarhátíð 2019. The festival was a homage to experimental archaeology, with a focus on unlocking the secrets of how Icelanders made iron in the Viking age, secrets that have been lost for centuries. We succeeded! The Hurstwic team made bloomery iron in Iceland for the first time in 700 years, using all Icelandic materials in Icelandic-style furnaces based on recent archaeological discoveries. Festival guests not only watched but were invited to participate in the adventure with us. Learn more about our festival here, watch a slideshow that gives a taste of the adventure, and watch a segment on the festival that aired on "Landinn," and Icelandic television show.
