AHG Mother & Daughter Retreat: Tree of Life Cross Workshop (2)

Inspired by Mexican folk art, mother and daughter will be given the instruction to design a hand coiled sculptural cross depicting the biblical Tree of Life in terra cotta clay. The motifs found in the garden of Eden and then later in Gethsemane are sculpted and juxtaposed to show the beauty and fecundity of embracing the cross. You will use both low and high relief  ceramic sculpting and embossing to build this beautiful terracotta cross int he first session. In session two, you will glaze your clay cross project. Price covers cost of instruction for 2 Saturday sessions of 2.5 hours, materials, and two firings.  Projects will be returned to troop leaders to distribute back to mothers and daughers. Finished work may be displayed indoor or outdoor after final firing.
