Class Description

Simply put, I am excited to share in the art of making from meaning…a lifestyle, a movement, a calling. I invite you to explore new wearable shrines of intention for yourself.  A “lighthouse” for the coming year, if you will.

What is the vision for your life? In this hands-on workshop, we will begin the day by setting intention, writing after listening to our guides and exploring the art of living your most creative life, guided on creating your most infinite dream for yourself through spirit and creativity.  I love inspiring you to create from your heart and soul and will carry you through how I do that with my own designs.

We will talk firsthand on the how’s of moving your life in the directions of your laugh out loud dreams through story and metalsmithing.

The afternoon will be hosted by myself to PLAY…..with your dreams, ideas, writings, metal smithing…

literally, making your own Wearable Shrine of Intention that you will be able to take home as a reminder to the intention you have set for yourself for your new chapter!
