Come join Elizabeth Clancy, an NYU alumni and experimental archaeologist working on weaving and textiles in the ancient world, in a hands-on workshop exploring how the ancient Etruscans wove textiles and clothing. Try your hand at spinning fleece into yarn using a spindle whorl and make your own mini-tapestry inspired by ancient Etruscan designs! Afterwards you can explore the exhibition and come face to face with weaving tools used by Etruscan women to create textiles at the temple of Poggio Colla. This is a free craft focused workshop with limited spaces so please make sure to register on the link below!

Dr. Leah Mascia presents on the ways in which funerary customs of Roman Egypt adapted to a changing multicultural landscape while remaining firmly embedded in the Pharaonic tradition.
