Date for the diary, new zoom course, Materials of Design: Art and Crafts in Ancient Egypt, begins on Tues 6th Jan 7pm and is repeated live on Fri 9th Jan 10.30am (for five weeks). Focusing on a different material each lecture, we will explore where the ancient Egyptians sourced their material and how they crafted it. We will study exemplary examples and those with an interesting context. The symbolic meaning of each of the materials will also be examined. Part one studies metals, semi-precious stones, faience, glass, ostrich eggs, shells and leather. Tickets at Eventbrite
