Papyrus Boatmaking

Sunday, August 31, at 1:30 p.m.

Make your own model boat out of papyrus!

Papyrus is so much more than paper. In this hands-on workshop you will learn all about this majestic and very useful river plant.

We will briefly explore the biology, ecology, and history of papyrus and then we will view some of the ancient papyrus artifacts in the Museum’s collection, including an ancient marriage contract. Then you will learn how to make simple papyrus cordage and fishing line, how to craft a model papyrus boat, and we will show you how to make papyrus paper at home on your own!

Admission is free with paid entry to the museum.
