Step into the world of tiny treasures and meaningful making with artist Brittany Heskett.
In this heartfelt workshop, you’ll create two miniature shrines—small enough to tuck in your palm, powerful enough to hold your memories, wishes, or sacred symbols.
Using inks, acrylics, vintage ephemera, and your own personal touches, Brittany will guide you through mixed media techniques that turn humble matchboxes into soulful keepsakes.
All materials are provided, but feel free to bring small photos or mementos to make each piece uniquely yours.
We’ll close with a short, optional intention-setting to seal your creations with meaning.
