The Art of Herbology: Journals (8:30am)
Ancient Egyptian priests and physicians prescribed herbal medications made from thyme, fennel, garlic, juniper and other plants. Work with artist Laurie Witzkowski to make salves and syrups from plants, recording the recipe for each with pen and ink on Egyptian papyrus. 

Mummies and More: Mixed Media (10:15am)
The practice of preserving a body as a mummy is widespread across the globe. In ancient Egypt everyone except for criminals, was entitled to be embalmed and receive a decent burial. Join artist Jeanette Dickinson to uncover the secrets of mummification from canopic jars to sarcophagi. Then create your own mummy and sarcophagus!
