Film from Clay Cargo 2014: A Roman archaeology session with Mike Webber

Over the next three weeks, we will be posting films of Clay Cargo activities last summer made by Luke Glover.  The first is of a session we held at the Skip Garden, King’s Cross, with archaeologist Mike Webber.  Mike displayed tens of pieces of Roman ceramic he had found over the years on the Thames Foreshore.  We invited participants to handle these objects and try their hand at various decorative techniques common in Roman, medieval and Tudor times: rouletting, carving and slip trailing.

For those interested in conducting their own search for ceramic fragments on the Foreshore, Mike is leading another Clayground walk on March 22nd.  See below and contact us for further details.
