On April 26, from 11 am to 1 pm, the Ice Age Centre will host an ancient ceramics lecture and a small workshop, led by archaeologist Mairi Kaseorg. The topic offers an opportunity to travel back in time and discover how pottery was made at a time when potter’s wheel was not yet known.

The event begins with an introductory lecture, where the history, traditions and working methods of ancient ceramics are introduced. Then, participants can try their hand at clay themselves – sculpting and experimenting with various ancient patterns and decoration methods.

The workshop is intended for both children and adults and offers the joy of discovery to everyone who is interested in history, crafts and creative activities. Participants will get a first-hand experience of what pottery making might have looked like thousands of years ago.

The event is supported by the Estonian Cultural Endowment.

Participation is possible with an Ice Age Centre ticket or a Museum card. Please purchase your ticket in advance from Fienta so that we can count on the participants.

Time and place:
April 26th, 11 am–1 pm, Ice Age Centre, Tartumaa, Äksi
