Held alongside the annual Cookham Archaeological Dig, this workshop invites you to connect with the past through clay. This is a rare opportunity to create in the midst of an active archaeological excavation, drawing inspiration from the history beneath your feet. Working with natural materials and simple tools, deepen your connection with the past through making.
During this session, you will create a ceramic vessel inspired by Saxon burial storage and cooking urns, considering how these forms were made, including the tools and firing methods involved. The emphasis is on gesture, form and texture rather than perfection.
This three-hour workshop (10.30am–1.30pm) is open to adults and younger family members when accompanied by an adult. All abilities are welcome, including complete beginners.
Finished pieces will be dried, fired and glazed before being available for collection during CAMAT Weekend (12–13 September 2026) at the Parish Centre.
