SRP: Golden Scarab Scratchboard (Ages 18+)

On Wednesday, June 24th at 6pm, come unveil the mysteries of the pharaohs in this hands-on workshop dedicated to the art and symbolism of Ancient Egypt.  This year’s Summer Reading Program theme is Unearth a Story – Dinosaurs, Archaeology & Paleontology.  Our adult events will focus mainly on ancient civilizations, their customs & historical sites.

In the Golden Scarab Scratchboard Workshop participants will use gold foil scratchboard to reveal shimmering, metallic designs from beneath a midnight-black surface, mimicking the opulent goldwork found in royal tombs.  Create your own “Golden Scarab” inspired by the protective amulets used in ancient funerary rites. Explore a library of iconic Egyptology motifs, including the Ankh (symbol of life), the Eye of Horus (protection), and more.

All materials are provided.  Ages 18+.  Class limited to 16.  You must pre-register by emailing RachelG@scplva.net.  Your registration is not confirmed until you receive a reply email.
