Making jewellery - it was a very important part of Roman Culture.

Turned out nice for us! 


The first stage of clunching (making a type of plaster): mashing up chalk.
Ready to learn the next stage in the process of clunching; mixing the chalk with water.
Ready to plaster the wattle wall. 


Mosaic making in the Roman villa. 
Making mosaics-a very significant part of Roman culture.
