Sorry, this workshop has been canceled. đ
In this class we are going to play with a little hocus pocus of years gone by and create an apothecary box for special potions to remedy whatever ails you. The apothecary box will be highly personalized, using found objects and the process of assemblage and you’ll modify the bottles and containers for all your elixirs and concoctions. In one instance I created a kit for artists who also happen to be vampire hunters…you never can be too careful. The skies the limit: love potions, shrinking pills, anti-snoring balmsâŚwhatever inspires you.  Hurry, hurry step right up and enter a land of the wondrous and strange.
Final registration date: April 24Â ($400 for 3 days; $275 for 2 days)
