Program Description

Event Details

Back by popular demand, Tumbled by the Sea will help us identify the ceramic sherds that wash up on our shores.  Did you know that every piece of sea pottery on the beach has a mystery to be solved? Discover how to identify and date ceramic patterns using only small beach-found fragments. (Is it possible to find anything dating from the American Revolution?) Learn how to decipher clues to determine the origin of sea pottery, and hear the surprising history behind beautiful sherds found by the staff of Tumbled By The Sea!  Bonus: Each attendee gets to “scoop” a goody bag of pottery and sea glass from Tumbled’s treasures!
