DESCRIPTION
Join artist Sue Stanton and take your rock wrapping to the next level. Wrapping stones is an art form that has been practiced for centuries, and that many people value for its spiritual benefits. The practice enhances positive energy and helps create a deeper connection between us and nature, Sue finds. Today, wrapping rocks has evolved into traditions both decorative and spiritual.
This class builds on skills learned in previous rock-wrapping classes or experiences, and focuses on enhancing your designs and developing your imagination. Sue will combine several beginning and intermediate wraps, and integrate new design elements to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
You're encouraged to bring one or two oval, flat and smooth stones, about an inch larger than your hand. It is important that the stone be oval and flat with longer edges, to give us more space for designing. Also, bring a keepsake or design element — a shell, twig, piece of jewelry, charm, feather, etc. — to be the focal point of the stone.
Your materials fee covers all of your wrapping materials. If you have taken previous rock-wrapping classes from Sue, bring the tools from those classes. Tools will be available during class as well.
Our time together will be spent using basic techniques for rock wrapping combined with design elements to create unique pieces. You will go home with at least one beautiful stone that you have wrapped, along with a memorable experience.
SUPPLY INFORMATION
All wrapoing materials and supplies are provided with the materials fee. If you have taken previous rock-wrapping classes from Sue, bring the tools from those classes. Tools will be available during class as well.
