Guardians of the Nile: Ceramic Canopic Jars

Camp | Available

Travel back to ancient Egypt and discover the fascinating history behind one of antiquity's most iconic ceramic forms! In this hands-on workshop, students will master foundational handbuilding techniques, including the pinch-pot and coil methods, to engineer their own sculptural canopic jars. Campers will design and sculpt expressive lids featuring the four sons of Horus or their own original guardians, exploring the symbolic relationship between form, function, and ancient mythology. Finished with authentic-style glazes, these unique vessels will serve as a creative bridge to the past.
