About PottedHistory
The technology of ancient ceramics from Mesolithic to Mediaeval and beyond. Every step of the process from sourcing and preparing clay and raw materials , through hand building, the potter's wheel to mould made figurines. Watch us open fire Bronze Age beakers, reconstruct and fire Roman kilns and cook in the replica pots that we make. And when they break, we'll show you how ancient people repaired them and how the ones that they threw away decomposed in the ground. We'll look at the finds of Archaeologists and the collections of museums. Pots record the stories of the people that made and used them, can read those stories and bring them back to life.
