Learn About the Mayan Ceremonial Calendar and Make One at the Morgan Conservatory

Sat 9/29 @ noon-4pm

The Morgan Art of Papermaking Conservatory holds a vast variety of workshops in paper-making and the use of paper in various permutations. Many demand the commitment of a whole weekend.

If you’d like a smaller sample of the kinds of things you can learn there, try their upcoming half-day workshop in the Mayan 260-Day Ceremonial Calendar, taught by artist/activist Ajpub’ García, who is currently apprenticing at the Morgan. You’ll learn about the role of the calendar in Mayan societies and how to figure out your own birth date using the calendar. Finally, you’ll get to make a small Mayan-style book using handmade paper and decorate it with traditional signs using easy-to-learn printing techniques.

Also, this one’s inexpensive — only $10, or $5 for Morgan members.
