M-Lab
Harvard Art Museums
Ceramics Program Director Kathy King and her assistant Darrah Bowden led a hands-on demonstration of faience during this M-Lab workshop organized and led by Laura Taronas, a Ph.D. candidate in Egyptology at Harvard. The workshop explored the multiple applications and symbolic meanings of the color blue throughout Egyptian history. Participants took a visual tour of some of ancient Egypt’s most emblematic work, focusing on the use of the color across mediums. In a hands-on session in the Materials Lab that followed, participants had the opportunity to mold and sculpt faience and create their own mock wall painting fragments inspired by Theban tomb paintings incorporating Egyptian blue.
