What might someone find under the ground or in the Forth and Clyde Canal in 500 years time? What would this say about Camelon today?

Over the Summer 2019 Camelon Arts ran ceramics workshops with guest artist Laura Aldridge, in which residents made over 150 Camelon Future Artefacts out of clay. The results were pit-fired; an exciting process of 'firing' ceramics at the bottom of a bonfire pit, using organic materials (such as copper wire, salt, coffee grinds and even banana skins!) to create patterns and colours on the surfaces of the ceramics.
