Program 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 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!
