Excavation Cake (Jess and Jo Horton, 2023)
Bake or make a creation inspired by archaeology!
Knit a scale bar, bake artefact biscuits, model a monument, the only limit is your imagination.
The competition is open from Wednesday 1 May to Saturday 25 May 2024. Submit your amazing creation using the ENTRY FORM.
We have special NAW certification for under 18s, so if you have a crafty young person, please encourage them to get involved, and let us know in your entry description who did the making/baking!
Remember to vote for the People’s Choice award after entries close on 25 May.
For more information and ideas, download the poster here and for under-18s here. If you are looking for inspiration, Dr Emma Rehn has made a series of free archaeology-themed crochet patterns available, especially for NAW. Find them on Ravelry here.
