Tile Making Family Workshop with Diana Hall – PAWF

Join experimental archaeologists Diana Hall and John Winterbottom for a family-friendly workshop on how to make your very own embossed pattern 2″ tiles, ready to take home.

You’ll start the session with a sheet of clay and with the support of our potters and oodles of inspiration you’ll end the session having made totally unique set of tiles. As we only have a few hours, these tiles will be unfired.

All materials will be provided. Families are welcome.

10-12pm

Adult £6 Child £4

 

About Diana Hall and John Winterbottom

John and Diana are two experimental archaeologists interested in encouraging wet, pliable, clay turn into ceramic when fired to about 800*  in a bonfire kiln.

Diana is a recognised national expert in making reproduction medieval encaustic tiles like the image above for restoration projects in cathedrals, etc. We hope to have Diana run a longer encaustic tile workshop later in the year if there is enough interest from local craftspeople and artists.

They have both worked at Singleton Open Air Museum, Chichester – Winchester Cathedral – Bestwell, Wareham, Dorset, Corfe Castle and many other places.  They also demonstrate medieval inlaid tile production and conduct hands-on small tile workshops.
