Learn to craft your own 'Beaker' pot using a hand-building technique to create your own pottery vessel by stacking and joining clay coils used throughout Prehistory.

Choose your own style or be inspired by The Beaker culture, a bell-shaped pottery style that appeared in the Bronze Age. Experience the excitement of crafting your pot ready to be fired in a pit fire kiln, the oldest known method for firing pottery.

Suitable for adults and children aged 11+.

Gio will cook your pot on an open fire, just as they did 3000 years ago. You can collect your fired pottery on your next visit.

During the Neolithic (new Stone Age), people began making pottery for storing and cooking food.

Most small pots were made as pinch pots or thumb pots from a single ball of clay. A thumb pot or pinch pot is a simple clay pot made by sticking a thumb into a ball of clay and then pinching the clay between the thumb and the fingers.

Have a go at 'hand built' pottery guided by Gio and learn how to form the shape of your pot and decorate it with natural materials from the woodland. Designed for ages 4+.
