Pottery
Round 5000 B.C. various groups of people coming from Central and Eastern Europe sailed up the Danube and introduced the technique of ceramics into our regions. You’ll have the opportunity to discover the various ways ceramics was made from the Neolithic up to the Gallo-Roman period. Pots were usually shaped with the “coil” technique, then smoothed out, polished and decorated with various techniques, namely by excising, incising, printing, painting, carving or still stamping them. You’ll also experiment lathe-work. The small potter’s wheel first appeared as early as the Hallstatt period but the hand-activated rapid potter’s wheel did not appeared until the La Tène period and until the Roman period its utilization remained rather rare in our regions.
