DESCRIPTION
In times of transition, we lose the locations, materials, and community that were the foundation of our ceremonies, yet we don't lose our rituals. In this workshop, we will make small travel-size ritual items made from our surrounding space. We will explore natural clays and medicinal herbs. This workshop has a follow-up date on Sunday, October 22nd to join the artist for an outdoor clay firing.
