Family Event: Paper Pottery with Lucia

The Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology invites you to create your own crafted masterpiece inspired by the museum’s collection of pottery.

Piece together your very own paper pot! 

Inspired by the Petrie Museum’s collection of pottery, illustrator Lucia Vinti will guide you through styles and representations shown within this fantastic array of pots. Looking at patterns, people and animals, your final crafted creation will be a modern masterpiece with ancient flair.

The final addition will be a simple stand to display your unique creation complete with your own museum object label.
