School Group Tours

This includes a tour of the Folk Pottery Museum, History Museum, and a pottery demonstration. Visiting the Folk Pottery Museum will teach students about the societal, cultural, and historic context of the region's folk pottery.

This tour offers students the same benefits of the Museum Tour, with the addition of a walk along the Museum's Heritage Path. There students will visit a restored former slave cabin and watch a live demonstration by a blacksmith.

After visiting the Folk Pottery Museum and learning about the history of the area, students will love the hands-on activity which can follow. Students of all ages will have the opportunity to take direct inspiration from the museum's exhibits and create their own works of art with clay or a different medium of your request in our newly created classroom space or outside.
