Travel back in time to make cups the way our Bronze Age ancestors would! We joined Angie Wikenden (potter, educator and experimental archaeologist) to learn how to make and fire Bronze Age ceramic cups from scratch. Using pre-historic techniques, we will learn about how to make our own cups from clay, apply ancient patterns using natural materials (like nettle string cordage) and harden these over an open fire.
Here are some photos from the day:
This event is part of the Stoke Village Summer of Fun, and is supported by the Growing The Village Hub project (in partnership with Take A Part, and co-funded using money from the National Lottery by Arts Council England, Heritage Fund and the National Lottery Community Fund).
