DUNKELD LIVING HISTORY 2026 - Neolithic Pottery Workshop

Join Emma from Bog Born Crafts, a professional heritage craftsperson, potter and archaeologist, for a chance to use the techniques and tools of Neolithic and Bronze Age people to craft replica Beaker-style pottery. Based on ceramics from about 5000 years ago, we’ll explore mixing clay, handbuilding techniques and using replica natural tools to decorate our beakers. You will be free to either take your pottery creations home with brief instructions on how to have a go at bonfire firing them yourself, or Emma can fire them after the workshop and you can collect them from Dunkeld Archives a time after the workshop. Refreshments and lunch and materials will be provided .
