Once again I will be running the Medieval Cookware class at the Canberra Potters Society. This a good opportunity to create those cookware items you were wanting for your kit.

This is a rare chance to learn traditional making techniques while exploring the flavours and material culture of the medieval kitchen in a friendly, supportive studio environment.

Few of the new 14thC jugs and drinking jugs.

Some of the new Bartmann drinking krugs and beakers that I have been working on. Trying to mimic the look and feel of Salt Fired stoneware from the 16thC, without access to a salt kiln. The drinking jugs were heavily decorated with sprigs and then fired in a salt kiln. The original glaze was achieved by throwing salt into the kiln at stoneware temperatures, which gives an orange peel texture and glazes the whole piece.

Here a few of the new work I have been working on. A lot of Byzantine sgraffito ware based on pieces from my recent trip visit to the Byzantine & Christian Museum in Athens and the Maritime Trade Museum in Kusadasi. Mostly 12thC and 15thC. Also playing around with a couple of new references “Seramik Kandiller” Türkiye and “Byzantina Kepamika” Greece, both books have clear photos. Unfortunately both are in local language but that is what google translate is for.
