Colonial Pottery and Fiber Demonstrations with Erich and Janice Steinhagen

Historically accurate pottery and fiber spinning demonstrations! Visitors are invited to watch and ask questions as Erich throws a pot and as Janice spins fabric. Visitors will learn how people in colonial times lived, dressed, and worked. Their programs include discussions of everyday life in the colonial period, and demonstrations of the spinning wheel and a pottery-making. The Steinhagens invite all park visitors to their tent outside the Bunker Hill Monument from 11am-4:30pm on both days, with formal 20-minute demonstrations at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. In the event of rain, this program will be moved across the street to the Bunker Hill Museum.
