Vounous Symposium 2024 Day 4


It’s time to build a new furnace! One of the great things about Vounous is that we have time, a luxury that I rarely have. Often I make a furnace and have to use it the next day and they day after it’s destroyed or buried so the site looks as if we’d never worked there. At Vounous, I can take the time to make a furnace, let it dry and use it year after year.

Vounous 2024

The annual Vounous Symposium is a 17 day long event where artists and archaeologists from around the world gather to collaborate and recreate the objects from Bronze Age Cyprus. During the symposium they will explore ancient techniques for making ceramics, metalworking, and other crafts.

This year I’ll be doing a video diary of the event.
