Workshop recreates ancient cooking pots from Cyprus and the Mediterranean
July 29, 2021
They say it can be meditative to work with clay and many handicraft processes possess a relaxing quality to them. The repetitive act calms the mind and soothes the nervous system and when it comes to ceramic art, moulding the clay by hand is said to be a rather comforting practice. Perhaps it is one of the reasons why people have been so drawn to learning ceramic and pottery art and it seems that the interest is still high.
As such, another ceramics seminar is coming up but what is special about the 6th Archaeological Experimental Ceramics Workshop is that it proposes the exploration of techniques and technologies of the past. This August the workshop in Foini village will focus on the recreation of ancient cooking pots from Cyprus and other Mediterranean countries.
