Shrine workshop
A shrine has many different meanings in the dictionary but most relate to a spiritual place associated with or containing memorabilia of a particular revered person or thing. In this workshop we will be making a portable house shrine made from mosaic using stained glass, mirror,ceramic tiles, and other mixed media .This workshop is about bringing the community together after turbulent times and making space in your home for a peaceful reflection of thoughts. The shrines will be on MDF laser cut designs of Hamsas, hearts and wings,plus mini temples. These are complimentary workshops for the community sponsored by the Carnival carnivalbrewing.me/ Brewery who believe in tithing, from profit to giving back to the community using creative workshops as a wellbieng gesture The workshops will be facilitated by Amanda Jane Earley who is a trained mosaicist from The Chelsea School of Art. here are some of the templates that are usedin the shrine workshop The winged heart holds different meanings for different people, and interestingly, is a common tattoo motif, representing a joyful, optimistic and free spirit. The heart has become a common symbol for Love, but was once thought to be the location of the human soul. It has been known as the ‘seat of emotions’ by Christians and Islam regards it as the ‘spiritual center’. In Egyptian symbology, wings are the symbol of spiritual progress, so the heart with wings signifies the heart reaching upward towards heaven. The Hamsa is an ancient Middle Eastern symbol that holds a variety of meanings across cultures. Nevertheless, it is regarded in all faiths as a protective talisman that brings good fortune, health and happiness. The hamsa is primarily used to protect its owner from the 'Ayin Ha'ra,' also known as 'The Evil Eye' |
