Museum of the Coastal Bend hosts Hands-on History: Pinch Pots

Pinch Pots from 2017

Victoria College’s Museum of the Coastal Bend will host a Hands-on History: Pinch Pots event on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 11 a.m.-noon.

In celebration of International Archaeology Day and El Camino Real Day, attendees will have the opportunity to learn the coil method necessary to create clay pots. The method to be demonstrated is the same method used by people to build Texas’ early Spanish missions.

While the event is free and open to the public, supplies are limited and will be utilized for attendees on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Museum of the Coastal Bend is located on VC’s Main Campus at 2200 E. Red River St.
