Sacred Womb Mosaic Altar
I am thrilled to be offering this special new class!
As women we have the ability to bring new life into the world. Our creative energy is sourced from the depth of our Sacred Womb and is called chi. Our ancestral lineages both historically and into the future lay within this capacity that is unique to us as women. In this class I see the form of our heart-shaped womb as a holy/sacred altar space. A place to create a living reminder of our creative potential and life force. This can include paying homage to our female ancestors [both maternal and paternal] whether known or unknown.
I will provide a beautiful heart-shaped womb substrate that you can adorn with meaningful objects, tiles and jewelry. This class is designed to teach basic mosaic techniques such as design, placement, adhesives, grouting as well as beading and building with a collection of materials. I 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/creator 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” x 10”.
