Part 1
In the first part of the workshop, children are asked to explore the question 'How do we find out about the past?' by becoming archaeologists themselves.
​
They excavate artefacts from Ancient Greece trying hard to work out who once used what they uncover. Could it have been a Mycenaean (Bronze Age) queen, a Spartan Warrior or an Athenian Playwright? A hero from the Trojan war. an Athenian woman or a hoplite soldier?
Part 2
The second part of the workshop looks at Ancient Greek pottery. They made a lot of it!
They focus on Athenian Black-figure ware, become apprentices of the great pottery painter and artist Kleitas by designing their own decorations then painting it onto slabs of clay. They might even learn a little bit of Ancient Greek on the way!
