Morning with the Dead - Bringing Our Loved Ones Back to Life
Initially, your remembered guest will be evoked by a piece of clothing hung on a clothesline with three referential objects beneath.
Also bring an 8x10 representation of remembered face, and 2 photographs of you both together. Be exuberant in your memorabilia: letters, pictures, photos, small objects - anything that can be sewn or glued to cloak. Bring favorite initialed tools, a packed lunch, journal and pen. Fabric and additional tools will be provided.
Participants will dialogue and interact with cloaked figure. The workshop ends with tea and snacks for participants surrounded by their creations.
