Inspirational Prayer Flags

screen-shot-2016-09-28-at-6-17-29-pm

Saturday • December 3rd • 1:30 – 5:30PM

Design and paint your own batik-style prayer flags. We will investigate symbols new and ancient to create a series of personalized inspirational prayer flags. The process itself is about creating simple symbolic designs that can be easily drawn, and the painting around and into the design. We will be using cotton flags, special fabric paint, and a special kind of resist that creates crisp and clean white lines that push away the paint, making for beautiful outcomes.

With Daisy Rose & Alice Pennes

The idea of the Mandala can be found in cultures all over the world as a symbol of the completeness of the universe.  The Mandala’s concentric, geometric patterns may best be known from Tibetan Buddhist sand paintings – intricate works of communal art, which take days of careful practice to create and just minutes to wipe away.  This class, inspired by traditional Mandalas, embraces the radiant, ephemeral beauty of flowers and the healing properties of creativity and self-expression.

Students will have access to an inspiring selection of natural materials and will be guided through creating their original designs.  In this thoughtful practice, flowers will be deconstructed and appreciated for individual petals, leaves, stamen and pistils.  Students will leave with a deeper understanding of the material’s texture, color & shape that will carry over to their own practice in traditional flower arranging and garden design.

Rachael Hairston will be photographing each Mandala for students to leave with a small print and digital file of their work – great for printing on a larger scale or on canvas.

Winery Sixteen600 will be offering a selection of floral wines to compliment the practice. Choose either a half or full tasting at check out.

Art as Revelation – Uncovering Your Connection to Judaism Through Creating

Using the wildly popular style of mindful doodling we will explore Hebrew letters and words as a design tool to create beautiful, meditative, repeating patterns. Think Judaic mandala! Using pen, paper and
color we will investigate a deeper visual relationship with Hebrew words, the meaning they hold and
possibly even look into the numerical value given to each Hebrew letter. With this practice we will take a closer look at what words and values ring true in our hearts. Leading us to uncover a new layer of connection to Hebrew letters and our own creative powers.
