Class Description
Images of the divine feminine are present in many cultures throughout history by way of symbolic expressions of Goddess forms. These depict aspects of womanhood throughout our lives as maiden, mother and crone. They also signify the “mysteries” of the feminine with expressions of fertility, wisdom, nurturance and strength!
In this class Theresa Arico will provide a beautiful goddess substrate that you can adorn with meaningful objects or jewelry. This class is designed to teach basic mosaic techniques such as design, nipping, placement, adhesives, grouts as well as beading and building with a collection of materials. Instructor will provide a fun collection of ephemera or tesserae as we say in mosaic-speak, however this is a great opportunity to incorporate saved family heirlooms, trinkets, costume jewelry, etc. into this piece.
Come make time for your creativity and inner goddess to shine through! This project may provide a way to express your current journey as a woman, to possibly create a tribute to women of your family lineage, or to consider parts of your own spirit calling for love, care and nurturing. Your finished piece will measure 14.5” x 3”.
Please bring (optional):
• If you have special tokens, jewelry or 'special items' you want to add to make it more personal please bring them. Otherwise, the instructor will have everything you need.
