Egyptian Curiosities, Clay Canopic Jars – Art Class for Kids

Venue closed until further notice.

In this art workshop, participants will learn about canopic jars, an ancient Egyptian curiosity, which held and preserved human organs, such as the liver, stomach, lungs and guts. Using no fire clay, participants will get to make their own canopic jar—minus the human organs!

All materials and equipment are provided and included in the cost. These sessions are education-based, but a lot of fun, designed for students who enjoy art and want to develop their skills.
