very good, very good. Were there seats for the potters or was this done standing…. oh, my aching back.
Nice video! This reminds me of my experience of making pottery, with electronic wheel, haha.
Love the potter’s wheel!
who came up with the idea to say pottery is a certain gender? lol
@Archaeosoup Considering what happened at Greek symposiums, I doubt they would want to attend.
But I agree: it is bold to claim that some pottery was only for men and other only for women. It needs more substantiation than can be presented in an intro video. Did women really never drink from a kylix?
@Christian from Muslim It doesn’t mean that women never drank from them. Ofcourse!
@Archaeosoup Exactly. So although one may mention symposia, one need not relegate them as dedicated to men.
@Archaeosoup Sexism aside, I very much liked the video. The pottery wheel demonstration added a lot to understanding the process.
@Christian from MuslimThank you. Though it’s not as simple as sexism. It’s a way of talking about pottery and so-called social norms. Broader than gender roles, more abstract than hard and fast rules.
Why do you say Ancient Greece and not Grecian?
As stated in the thread you added to on the previous video, this is a mini series for Primary school. Not a complete over view of the Hellenistic world.
how to find the picture in 1:00 ??
It is a famous symposium scene from Paestum, a creative commons image is here:

Am I the only one who heard talking in the background when he was shaping the pot
Yes, the room is adjacent to a hall through which a school group was noisily passing on their way out of the Museum.
