Beginner's Tarot Collage Workshop

Deepen your connection with the tarot through art at this relaxed workshop Join us for a creative session, learning about tarot and deepening your understanding of the cards through collage making. Set at Damsel Collective, a beautiful, cosy, welcoming womxn -centred space, this will be a wonderful opportunity to connect with your creativity and a welcoming community. We will begin the session by each pulling a tarot card, and taking a moment to reflect and mindmap the meanings of the card. Then, we will use a wide range of collage materials to create an art piece inspired by the card we drew, as a way of exploring both widespread and personal meanings of the card. This practice will allow you to deepen your personal connection to the cards, learn more about the tarot from others and yourself, and create a personal memento of the messages you received from the reading. No prior collage experience or tarot knowledge necessary - this is a great way to learn! All materials provided. Any questions, contact me on instagram @viola.vessels Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this event more accessible for you I look forward to welcoming you 💝 book your ticket here: [tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/tarot-collage-workshop-tickets-1981524857189?aff=oddtdtcreator)
