Join Maryann Cord for a day of creating modern day artifacts based upon her Cypriot Antiquities Series.
Ancient artifacts show that the rattle has always held an important place in the civilizations of just about every culture. For many the rattle is regarded as the dwelling place of great spirits and ancestors. These rattles pay homage to ancient art from Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean dating back as far as 2000 BC. They represent quintessential Cypriot fusion of indigenous traditions and elements assimilated from the ancient Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans who one after the other controlled the island through its history.
Participants will be guided through the process of designing and creating their own modern day artifacts.
Workshop fee includes all materials and a communal vegetarian lunch. No experience necessary.
