Whether you're fascinated by ancient Egypt and want to commemorate this with a personalised painting or you want a creative space to explore your imagination with some friends, this painting class will see you painting the iconic Queen Nefertiti on a piece of authentic Egyptian papyrus.
Under the tutelage of a local artist, you'll learn more about Ancient Egypt, traditional art methods and ancient kings and queens in this truly unique creative workshop. You're also welcome to come dressed in themed costumes if you wish — this is totally optional though!
As well as learning to create rich and royal tones on your papyrus with paint, you'll also have the option to embellish your royal masterpieces with gold leaf, to represent the exquisite, luxurious embellishments incorporated into traditional Ancient Egyptian art.
The image will be pre-drawn onto the papyrus paper, so the pressure is off and the opportunity to pick your colours and add your own creative touches is unlimited.
The venue for this workshop, The Portico Library, is home to the famous and unique Belzoni illustrations, which show the pyramids, temples, tombs, and excavations, in Egypt and Nubia. They contain various etchings and magnificent hand-coloured lithographs of ancient antiquities and Egyptian artwork which will be on display for your enjoyment — a truly unique opportunity to delve into the magic and mystery of the Ancient Egyptian, in an appropriately historical setting!
