Sand Symbol Making Day

 

Are you always on the lookout for the 'perfect miniature?' Do you ever feel jealous of other Therapists symbol collection?  Do you wish you could expand your collection but can't find or afford the items you want?


Why not create your own? 


During this 5-hour interactive workshop, you will create a treasure chest of symbols that you can integrate into your toolkit:


  • Use polymer clay to make your own element symbols and learn why the 4 elements (earth, air, fire & water) are essential for a Therapist's toolkit
  • Create hand-painted mandala domes 
  • Design your own inspirational stones and story rocks
  • Decorate glass jewels and gems 
  • Decoupage a treasure chest to hold all your newly created symbols 


Price: £100 which includes all materials provided as well as a SandSymbol Making Manual for you to continue learning from after the Day.
