SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In this workshop, we will be painting & collaging small treasures to wear as jewelry art. Some call these Amulets. What is an Amulet? It is an object which has “magical, intrinsic powers” to give protection to its wearer - by absorbing any of negative
energies and works like a self-charging solar battery. These can also be tiny, decorated
books to wear. It is said that Amulets prevent colds, bring money and give you general
good luck. Enjoy your Amulet!
This workshop will be recorded and available for a month.
NOTE THE DATE CHANGE. THE WORKSHOP IS NOW ON FRIDAY EVENING AT 6PM PST.
Zoom invitation and handouts, if any, will be sent out a few days prior to workshop date.
