Materials Lab Workshop: How to Draw a Pot
About
Learn how drawings of archaeological artifacts are made and how to draw one yourself. — Hand-drawn, painstakingly measured illustrations of excavated artifacts are key tools in archaeological research. Celebrate International Archaeology Day by joining Cathy Alexander, archaeological illustrator for Harvard’s Archaeological Exploration of Sardis in western Türkiye, and Caitlin Chien Clerkin, archaeologist and research curator for ancient art, to learn how these technical drawings are made and used. Then try your hand at the precise drafting process yourself!
