Workshops

  All supplies provided. Bring a sack lunch and something to drink. Students may want to bring their own photographs or trinkets/small items to incorporate into their art piece which may have significance or importance to them.

Join us for a transformative full-day workshop designed to ignite your creativity and deepen your spiritual practice as you craft your own unique retablo, prayer box, or treasure box. Gather with like-minded individuals in a nurturing atmosphere where respect for tradition meets the joy of playful innovation. You’ll explore the beauty of found objects—each with its own history and story—to create a functional and deeply personal piece of art. Learn the principles of assemblage techniques that will guide you in combining diverse materials and textures, allowing for a truly original creation that reflects your individual journey and honors your personal path.

Whether it’s a cherished photograph, a fragment of fabric, or a natural element, or a token or trinket that has special meaning to you, every component will enrich your box with significance. Imagine the fulfillment of holding a handmade vessel that showcases your unique vision while serving as a sanctuary for your prayers, remembrances, or small treasures. This workshop is more than just art; it’s a soulful experience that invites you to explore unconventional materials, expand your creative horizons, and celebrate the sacredness of making.

Saturday, MAY 10 from 10 AM to 4 PM, bring a lunch and something to drink.

$150 per person. All supplies provided except for personal photos, trinkets or small items students want to incorporate into their artwork.
