✨ craft your own ceramic tarot box ✨
In this workshop, you’ll use hand‑building techniques to sculpt and decorate your very own ceramic tarot (or oracle!) box. Mercury, a local artist and tarot reader, will join us to illuminate the rich symbolism behind tarot imagery—sharing insights into archetypes, elemental directions, and inner mythologies that can inspire your design.
All materials & firing included. No experience necessary. This workshop is offered at a sliding scale (read more here).
class teachers: CJ will lead the hand‑building clay activities, while Mercury, a local artist and tarot reader, will provide context and insight into the world of tarot.
