Personal Power Prescription Workshop

Instructor: Gwen Kelly

Saturday, Saturday February 22nd    9:30 am-1:30 pm

Create a tarot-inspired amulet pouch as we explore personal and cultural symbolism. Gwen will demonstrate three techniques: voodoo flag sequin-beading, relief block-cutting & printing, and fused fabric collage. Additional mixed media techniques will also be used. We will do group and individual exercises to unveil each participant's symbolic use of colors, symbols and objects. Participants can bring favorite fabric scraps, beads, buttons and other small items to share, trade or use, but materials will be provided in the workshop.
