Weekend Master classes: AUGUST/WATER

Along with August comes the last month of the workshop series, The Mystery of the four elements. This month’s theme is WATER! All month long, we will create amazing things: the ocean in a pocket, a mariner's compass, a beauty salon for a whale and a lot more.

Sea Compass

Everyone knows that the traveler's best friend is his/her compass, but it is not always at hand. That’s why we will learn to make an improvised compass.

Beauty for a whale

Last year, we sent to the distant lands a huge whale that was carrying on its back messages written by us. A year later, it came back to us tired and shabby. Together, we will give it back its former luster and appeal!
