SUMMARY:Amulet Cosaint Workshop at The Word Barn
DESCRIPTION:We can all use a powerful reminder of our self\, belief\, trust and calm. \n​An amulet\, talisman or charm is a personal ornament\, which because of something inherent in the object (it’s shape\, material or color)\, is believed to endow its wearer with special powers or capabilities. \nWe’ll create our own tiny tactile talismans that can be worn as a brooch or a necklace\, pinned to a lapel\, tied to a purse\, or carried in a pocket:  Each unique piece holds a power for the owner. \nDuring this workshop\, we’ll discuss color\, texture and use a variety of textiles\, vintage and new\, hand-dyed\, wool\, cotton\, French linen and hemp\, while we hand stitch our own story into these tiny textiles. \nEach one of us will choose a color way to work within\, adding elements of beads or charms as you see fit\, and then fill our tiny talismans with dried lavender or rose petals to hold a special scent to carry with you.  Participants will leave with at least one talisman\, and as our time may allow for more- you can make for yourself or others. \n*To make this textile/amulet work even more unique- bring with you objects of love and care – perhaps a penny for good luck\,  a small photo of your child\, or a button from your dad’s shirt or a safety pin from your grandmother’s house dress… anything small\, that can fit within a 2” square is appropriate to include. \nNo previous experience necessary. All materials provided but\, printing ink can get messy\, so I highly suggest bringing an apron! \nSpace is very limited! \nABOUT MOLLY C. MENG\nWEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM\nMolly C. Meng studied literature with a personal minor in collecting other people’s lives.  An obsession with old ledgers\, vintage photos. and every single discarded book that exists\, her work reimagines the untold stories behind the otherwise forgotten items of every day. \nA self-taught artist\, the medium of collage in both paper and textiles is Molly’s dominant form of communicating.  She successfully weaves the elements of ephemera and storytelling into each piece she creates. \nThe spectacular beauty of the ordinary is elevated with detail in her work.  Molly’s work has shown nationally in both museums and galleries located in New York\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, Wisconsin and Montana.  She has produced large scale commissions for interior designers\, personal homes and a number of Prometheus apartment complexes in Northern California. \nOther than creating her own artwork\, Molly helps adults and young people lean into their unique talent by teaching creative workshops around the U.S. as well as on an annual retreat in the South of France.  Molly C. Meng is currently living and working in Portsmouth\, New Hampshire.
