Details: Learn how to make primitive pottery! In these workshops you will learn how to prepare clay, construct pots and pattern them, before taking them home. Certificates will be awarded at the end. (Please note, pots cannot be fired on the day as they need to dry thoroughly first, please discuss firing options with the Workshop leader).
These are weekend, half-day events suitable for children. Adults are also invited take part. (Children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at all times).
We will be working outdoors, seated on the ground, however benches are available. In the event of wet weather we work under cover.
Our Primitive Pottery Workshops involve an educational element and provide a practical learning opportunity, offering the skills and techniques required to create a primitive style of earthenware pottery influenced by archaeological evidence of British Archaeology around the Neolithic to Early Saxon eras.
The Workshops are suitable for complete newcomers and those wishing to develop existing skills, delivered at a relaxed pace in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Our object is to learn basic skills and develop those skills through practical experimentation.
The day offers a wholly enjoyable and therapeutic experience!
