Workshop Information Sheet

Workshop: Crafting Personal Shrines
Instructor: Carol Owen
Date: Saturday, June 3
Time: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Each student will learn how to construct a shrine that will tell their own story, using photos and memorabilia special to them. Using simple materials and techniques such as assemblage and collage, students will make a structure rich in personal meaning.

Make a shrine to someone special in your life, to a favorite place, a remembered trip, a beloved pet, or perhaps a fun event you’d like to commemorate. I will show you how to make the shrine. What you choose to celebrate is up to you!
