On the second day, we will glue the tesserae to the chosen substrate and complete the project with sealant. If you are not finished, I will provide you with the materials to complete the project at home. All materials are non-toxic and the cutting does not require a lot of strength.

Creating Space for Grief:

This workshop is an invitation to pause and honor our grief. Artist and therapist, Tina Wolverton will lead a workshop on creating grief bowls. The bowl is traditionally a vessel of nourishment yet it is also a symbol of emptiness. What are you carrying ? What is in your bowl? We will explore how to honor our grief through art, writing and being in safe community together. This workshop is appropriate for adults working through both individual and collective grief. Participants are asked to bring a small bowl that will be used as a mold as well as any personal mementos, collage materials, papers or thin fabric.
