They help us bring focus and ritual into our daily lives which can make us feel part of something larger than ourselves. Many cultures use altars throughout the year or on special days to remember those who have passed and remind them that we have not forgotten them.\n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, we will talk about altars from other parts of the world and religions to see how they are traditionally created.

As we create these altars with love and remembrance\, you are welcome to bring a story to share (optional) about your beloved animal or human. Hopefully\, the piece you create will bring you peace as you display it and use it. Beginners as well as experienced artists are welcome to take the workshop. Johanna will guide you through using traditional box making techniques to build our alters. For ages 16 and up.
