Ceramic Jack O'Lantern Carving!

In this hands-on experience you'll be creating your very own ceramic Jack O'Lantern! Note: You need to be 21+ to attend this event. Your host will come with pre-thrown pumpkins and all the supplies needed to create and glaze a Halloween luminary. Let your creativity run wild - carve a cute or scary face, words, a cat or dog, geometric patterns - whatever you enjoy or find funny. Makes a great centerpiece throughout autumn, or a personalized gift for a Thanksgiving or Halloween lover. Great for ceramic enthusiasts of all levels. Hope to see you there!! Once pieces are finished your host will take them home to get fired. This makes them weather proof and very strong. The drying/firing process takes ~2-3 weeks, then pickup at the workshop venue or your host will mail it wherever desired, depending which experience ticket you choose. Please note that while great care is taken in packing items for shipment, there is always an element of risk. Once I bring packages to the post office, the timing and care taken in the shipping process is outside of my control. The delivery time for this experience should be about 3 Weeks

Tarot Basics Experience - Unveiling the Secrets of the Cards 

**Welcome to the Mystical World of Tarot: Unveiling the Secrets of the Cards** Step into a realm where ancient wisdom and intuition converge, where the veil between the material and spiritual worlds thins, and where the mystical language of symbols speaks volumes about the past, present, and future. I am delighted to invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment in my Tarot Basics Experience. Each guest will be provided a new Rider-Waite Tarot Deck to take home with them to continue their journey. Tarot, a centuries-old system of divination, has captivated the minds and hearts of seekers, mystics, and fortune-tellers alike. In this immersive and enlightening course, we will unravel the mysteries behind the Major and Minor Arcana, explore the profound symbolism within each card, and master the art of basic card spreads. The Tarot is not just a deck of 78 cards; it is a gateway to ancient wisdom, a mirror of the human experience, and a tool for gaining insights into the vast expanse of the subconscious mind. Whether you are a curious novice or have dabbled in the esoteric arts before, this class is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in understanding and interpreting the Tarot. Through a blend of interactive exercises, captivating lectures, and hands-on practice, you will: **1. Delve into the Major Arcana:** These 22 potent cards are the heart and soul of the Tarot deck. Each card represents a profound archetype, taking us on a journey of self-awareness and transformation. We will explore the Fool's daring quest, the High Priestess's hidden mysteries, the Tower's upheavals, and all the other archetypal figures that enrich the human experience. **2. Uncover the Minor Arcana:** Comprising 56 cards divided into four suits, the Minor Arcana sheds light on the everyday joys and challenges we encounter. From the fiery Wands to the intellectual Swords, from the emotional Cups to the practical Pentacles, each suit reveals a unique aspect of our lives, personalities, and spiritual growth. **3. Decipher the Language of Symbols:** Tarot cards are an artful tapestry of symbols and imagery, carrying layers of meaning within their illustrations. We will learn how to read and interpret these symbols, unlocking the deep reservoirs of insight they offer and refining our intuitive abilities. **4. Master Basic Card Spreads:** Building a bridge between the conscious and subconscious minds, card spreads allow us to seek answers to specific questions or gain a broader perspective on life's journey. You will become proficient in performing basic spreads, empowering yourself and others with profound guidance. So, whether you seek personal enlightenment, wish to offer readings for others, or merely wish to immerse yourself in the mystical allure of the Tarot, I invite you to join my Tarot Basics Experience. Unlock the secrets of the cards and discover the hidden wisdom that lies within you. *Note: No prior experience or special abilities are necessary; all that is required is an open mind and a willing heart to explore the fascinating world of the Tarot.*
