Samhain ༻ 2 days of 𝕸𝖆𝖘k 𝕸𝖆k𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖂𝖔𝖗k𝖘𝖍𝖔𝖕

ཐི❤︎aཋྀ returning by popular demand with a refreshed version! ཐི❤︎ཋྀ

On the 2nd and 3rd of November, we invite you to celebrate the Celtic festival of Samhain with a day of magic and creativity.
Samhain (popularly known as Halloween) is a Gaelic festivity which marks both the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter, when otherworldly spirits venture to our world, at the door of the ‘darker half’ of the year. When the boundary between worlds is thinner we have a perfect opportunity to undergo a metamorphosis! Come make a magical mask of your own creation, an enchanted object you can wear or use as an amulet and decoration for your house.
From beginning to end you will be guided over the technical and creative process and you will be offered different sources of inspiration while learning the papier-mâché clay technique.
A Samhain inspired soundscape will play alongside the process, snacks will be provided, and the space will be warm and friendly to anyone !

The workshop will be hosted by @lupalu_x , co-director of the ART group Undergrowth C.I.C
