Make your own pottery piggy bank!

Pottery Piggies!

make your own!

Sunday 9th June


JUST A FEW PLACES LEFT!
From ancient oracular pigs to to the terrible Twrch Twyth, from engimatic carved Pictish boars to hogsback Viking tombs, pigs lie in the history and mythology of this land. You might sing the Boar's Head Carol at Midwinter or simply enjoy the gruntling of piglets, but we hope that pigs matter to you as well. Now, join us for a bit of pig-making.....
Work with potter Sue Blatherwick to design and make your very own pottery piggy bank. Sticky clay and messy hands, fascinating colours and exciting shapes, our Piggies will add an extra delight to our season of Hoards
Venue: Dove Valley Centre, Longnor
Places: free but must be booked in advance


We'll be thinking about ways of keeping treasures safe, holding, hoarding, hiding them until.....Will you make a smiling cheerful little pig filling up happily with stray 5ps? Or will your Piggy be a blundering Boar, all bristles and tusks and ready to defend your pennies as fiercely as any dragon? Sticky clay and messy hands, fascinating colours and exciting shapes, our Piggies will add an extra delight to our season of Hoards.
Date: Sunday 9th June 2019
Venue: Dove Valley Centre, Longnor
Times: 11.00 - 16.00 - you will need to bring a packed lunch
Further details etc will be confirmed through eventbrite nearer the time
This workshop is part of the Museum's public event programme to accompany "Hoards: a hidden history of ancient Britain"
