About the event
Before books had pages, they rolled.
PAPYRUS SCROLLS // FAMILY MATINEE introduces the scroll as a working book form through hands-on making with genuine papyrus. Participants join prepared papyrus panels into a continuous surface, learn how the direction of the fibers affects the material, and experiment with what happens to drawing, writing, and sequence when there is no page turn.
Each maker leaves with one finished miniature papyrus scroll, a natural-fiber tie, protective transport sleeve, and an illustrated BOOKFORGE Scroll Anatomy handout.
Recommended ages 8+. Participants under 18 must attend with a ticketed participating adult. No previous bookbinding experience is required. All tools and materials are included.
