We are excited to announce our upcoming two-day workshop exploring ritual practice in ancient Egypt, in collaboration with Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology, responding to the museum’s current display ‘Broken, Burnt, Buried: Ritual Lives of Objects in Ancient Egypt’ @petriemuseum@ucllccos
Across ancient Egypt, people broke, buried, and even burned objects. This workshop will explore the use of traditional craft processes in ancient ritual acts: making, breaking, transforming, and sharing.
🗓️ Making, Breaking, Sharing
At Rochester Square
2 & 9 May, 12-2pm
