Trinkets, Treasures & Baubles: Votive Ornament Workshop

Get into the festive spirit with this special after-hours workshop at the Hellenic Museum.

The evening will begin with an exclusive curator's tour of the Rituals: Gifts for the Gods international exhibition exploring 8000 years of ritual and ceremony in the ancient Mediterranean. Discover the fascinating history behind ancient offerings and sacred objects before it's time to create your own modern interpretations.

Settling into workshop stations throughout the gallery you'll be guided to craft a series of personal ornaments using foil embossing techniques drawing inspiration from the ancient treasures surrounding you. Come away with newfound knowledge and a set of unique holiday decorations to gift or treasure.

This 90-minute experience includes a 20-minute tour and 70-minute crafting session with exclusive after-hours gallery access non-alcoholic mulled wine on arrival and all materials and guidance needed to create an embossed ornament set. No experience required!
