Amulet Design

Pera Young
Ages 13-17

  • June 24, 2023 / 13:30

In this workshop, the participants get to know the practices and stories of people in different geographies, who try to understand the world through the actions of measuring and weighing, by visiting The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition with a guided tour. Examining interesting objects that have traveled more than humans from Mesopotamia in the second millennium BC to the present, the participants design ornaments based on stone weights in the form of sleeping ducks, which people used to wear around their necks as amulets in the past.

Capacity: 15 people
Fee per workshop: 150 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
