Bootle Library - Seeds, Berries and Storage Vessels: Making Clay Pots for the Spice Rack In-Person
Our third session of Seasoning with Hannah Fincham takes place in the height of harvest time. A flush of plump fruits and seeds means it’s time to get busy. Nutrients and flavour molecules that have now made their way through each stage of the plant’s growth have congregated in these little pods for picking, and seeds especially are where we typically find most of our spicy seasonings.
For this making session we will get our hands in the dirt that gives life to our spices by sculpting clay into pots. This is where we will see our spice rack start to physically take shape, as we make storage vessels to keep our processed seasonings dry and safe. We will learn about slab building and adornment methods, generating the aesthetic character together for our seeds, berries and leaves.
On the day before we will be going on a foraging walk around Crosby Library, which you can book for here
