Sally Pointer in Conversation with Heritage Crafts

Join Heritage Crafts in conversation with experimental archaeologist and heritage educator Sally Pointer.

Sally Pointer is an award-winning experimental archaeologist and heritage educator who specialises in tracing craft techniques from their earliest origins to the present day. Her work bridges research and hands-on practice, exploring how ancient skills and materials can be understood through making.

Sally teaches widely — through in-person workshops, her books, online courses, and a popular YouTube channel — sharing her passion for traditional crafts and archaeological reconstruction with audiences around the world.

When not teaching, she is often to be found hedge-bothering (her term for exploring natural landscapes in search of inspiration and materials). Sally is also an Honorary Associate Research Fellow in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Exeter, where she continues to combine creative practice with academic research.

The session will take place on Zoom and attendees must register in advance via Eventbrite. Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit questions in advance.
