AGRIGENTO ARKEOPARK

Weaving’s laboratory allows you to get close to a very old art, which used to be an important part of the daily life of Greek women, as evidenced in the vascular scenes, literary works and mythological stories.

​

During the lab’s session, participants will learn how to weave "Penelope’s shroud" by working on a loom based on the greek model, pictured on vases of that time.

Moreover, being able to use a small loom, the participans can weave a small bracelet and eventually take it in memory of the experience.

 

It will also be shown how the ancient Hellenes used to dress; with the help of our staff, the participants can reproduce the everyday life that the ancient Greeks used to live daily.
