Creating Sacred Jewelry

September 1, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

$10.00

What is sacred jewelry? Where do I find it? Can I make my own? Can I assign a piece I buy or already own as sacred? Sterling will introduce her class to the wonderful, colorful, and free form world of sacred jewelry making. Topics covered will include defining what is sacred jewelry, how and where to acquire materials or ready-made pieces, simple steps in crafting your own jewelry, and the consecration of your sacred pieces. The class will end with show and tell, so please ‘bring: a piece or two of jewelry you hold near and dear to you. You may even want to have a drawing pad and colored pencils on hand to scratch out your design ideas. Please join Sterling and the Ardantane gang for a creative and crafty look into spirituality!
