The durable clay tablets are like a time travel machine, sending the reader back thousands of years and allowing them to witness the curiosity and efforts of someone who lived many years ago. In the workshop, children traveling back in time are inspired by the replica of a clay tablet found in Kültepe, which is featured in The Art of Weights and Measures. Designing a unique alphabet where they encode each letter with a symbol, the children write a note on the clay tablets they create with this alphabet as a souvenir of their day at the museum.
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL
The event will take place in the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
