SRP: Learn the Hieroglyphic Alphabet (Ages 18+)

Join us on Wednesday, June 3rd at 6pm to learn how to write using the hieroglyphic alphabet.  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 as discovered by archeologists.  In this workshop, participants explore the ancient Egyptian writing system and step into the role of a scribe.  Using a simplified hieroglyphic alphabet chart, students learn to translate their own names into ancient symbols. This class combines historical learning with a hands-on craft to create a personalized souvenir — a papyrus bookmark that spells out your name in hieroglyphics. (Papyrus is the ancestor of modern paper.)

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.
