About this event

    Let's make Roman Pottery! Join us for an exciting Adult Learning Roman Head Pot Workshop with the talented Graham Taylor.

    This hands-on event will take place at the Senhouse Roman Museum, where you will learn the ancient art of creating a Roman Head Pot. Relatively common throughout Roman Britain, headpots are found in many archaeological contexts, from kitchen strorage jars to the eternal resting place of cremated remains. In style they range from the elaborate and lifelike, through to the comic.

    No previous pottery or archaeological expereince is needed. All materials and equipment will be provided, although wearing old clothes, and/or bringing along an apron would probably be a good idea.

    All pots and tools that you make during the work are yours to keep.

    Get ready to unleash your creativity and make your very own masterpiece! Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to experience history in a fun and interactive way. Sign up now!

    The Senhouse Roman Museum can be found in the small coastal town of Maryport, Cumbria. It is at the western end of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site and looks out over the Solway Firth towards the Scottish coast. Visitors to the museum can discover a fascinating collection recovered from the adjacent Roman fort and civilian settlement. The collection includes objects that are evidence for how Romans and the local people lived worked and their beliefs. The collection is of international significance and includes the largest series of Roman military altars from the province, Romano-British sculptures of local deities unique to the area. There is more to the Romans than swords and sandals.
