My lectures focus on the material culture of ancient Egypt, examining what the objects and archaeological remains can reveal about the people who made and utilised them. It is a game of detection and the clues are priceless.


For each online lecture series, a handbook will be provided with suggested readings. No prior knowledge is required, just an inquisitive mind.
The Zoom link will be sent out the day before the lecture and again on the morning of the session, as a reminder

Jo's on-line  Zoom Courses   Materials of Design: Art and Crafts in Ancient Egypt


We are going to focus on a different material each week and look at where the Egyptians sourced it or how they created it. We will then examine tomb scenes which show methods of manufacture and any texts which provide information. We will finally look at exemplary examples of material culture or those of an interesting context. This is a great course for those visiting the Fitzwilliam ‘Made in Egypt’ exhibition.

The course begins on Tues 6th Jan 7pm and Fri 9th Jan 10.30am and runs for ten weeks, in two, five-week parts.

I have attached the links to the Eventbrite tickets below. You are of course welcome to pay me directly. The cost is £50 for each five-week course.
