2.6: The Great Pottery Throwdown (Kiln-Fired Science)
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
This week we try our hand at one of the oldest crafts in the world, and talk to people who know much more about ceramics than we do! We learn how to make pottery with Kim at Blue Leaf Ceramics and chat to the President of the European Ceramic Society.
Did you know Johnny Vegas has a piece of pottery at the V & A museum? Did you know ceramics are used in space exploration and jet engines? Why are some pots terracotta and others white? How do glazes work? Why do they put pots in big pits in the ground? How might ceramics help in the fight against cancer?
Join us for the answers to all these questions and much more…
