Christine Willis, "50 years a Potter"

BSA Friends Greece lecture
Event description: My Story: In the past year, I have been working with a group of Archaeologist and PhD students researching the different clays in the Anthemounta River Valley on the outskirts of Thessaloniki. Most of these archaeologist have been working on the site of Toumba located in the heart of the city. We have been using local clays to re-create some of the ancient pots and also firing them as they would have been fired during the Bronze Age. I'd like to share my personal story of how I became a potter and also some of the results of our collaboration with the BSA.
