$220.00

Throughout history, talismans and prayer boxes have been worn purposely and used to enhance and bring the qualities, prayers or specific intentions imbedded into these boxes into fruition.

These boxes and containers are constructed into beautiful, purposeful and wearable adornment to be carried for protection, power and love.

The repetition of wearing a prayer box embeds the intentions deeply and profoundly into the wearer’s life.

In this workshop format, spread out and prepare to deeply engage in learning some of my most recent personal signature techniques and work.

Learn the very practical skills of of building 3-dimensional unique sterling silver bezel and box forms by working with unique stones and objects gathered along the way, soldering and constructing as well as keeping intention and embedding your personal and powerful talismans.

Etching for sterling silver can be used to give a rough edge.

Be prepared to open up creatively and allow yourself to create the extraordinary.
