LC - Irish Art - Christian Metalwork Techniques

This week LC students have been busy working in four groups, to create posters that record the finer details of four metal pieces from the Christian Period. Each group were assigned illustrators, typographers, researchers and typists! Each group has to point out the main sections of the artifacts and identify the metalworking techniques involved.

Here are some relevant videos on Metalworking techniques that help explain each process.
