    Unusual Visit “Clay in All Its Forms”

    Batiment René-Ginouvès 21 allée de l'université, Nanterre, France

    Unusual Visit "Clay in All Its Forms" Dive into the fascinating world of clay like never before: making bricks and building a miniature wall, exploring the technothèque and the knowledge of potters, discovering the origins of sedentism and of earthen and stone architecture… A unique immersion between the past and unusual techniques, at the heart of modern research and its secrets!

    Young and old alike can get their hands in the earth to discover the secrets of raw-earth construction, just like the first builders of the Near East.
    Join us on 16 October at 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at UMR TEMPS, in the René-Ginouvès building, on the campus of Université Paris Nanterre.
    Registration is now open until 20 September, don't wait!

    Register for the 10:30 a.m. session
    Register for the 4:30 p.m. session

    Designed and led by Emmanuel Baudouin, Mathilde Jean and Julien Vieugué, this experimental archaeology workshop is organised by UMR TEMPS as part of the CNRS Unusual Visits, with the support of the Île-de-France Meudon Regional Office and in partnership with MSH Mondes.

    And to give you an idea of the workshop, here is a video of the 2025 edition, filmed by Paul Rambaud.
