ABGESAGT - Prähistorisches Töpfern

The event had to be unfortunately canceled due to insufficient participation!

Pottery like our ancestors

Through firing in an open fire, raw clay transforms into ceramics. The firing process gives the vessels their various colors and shades. These types of vessels were used in prehistoric times as everyday utility items. They were also used for cooking directly on the embers. If the vessels broke, the shards could easily be returned to the earth due to their composition of clay, small stones, and water.

Prehistoric means that no modern tools such as potter's wheels were used in the production. Instead, tools made of wood, bones, stones, antlers, shells, etc. are used.

Course content
You will learn where to find clay in the landscape. How to process and shape the raw material. And how the vessel is then fired in an open fire. Since there is no clay at the location where the course takes place, I will bring clay that I have collected myself.
