"Embedded Memories"  -  Memory Ware  
Personal & Found Objects

1 day or 2 evenings  $95

 MemoryWare, Memory Jugs, Tramp art......all are terms to describe  a style of 'mosaic' that originated centuries ago in Africa and, more recently, at the turn of the century when found objects, photos under glass, jewelry, watches,keys,  coins, toys, etc. were embedded in cement or putty and placed in cemeteries as grave markers. 

Saving the momentos of loved ones....an odd button, earring, cuff-link, or a piece of china, .... is an enchanting way
to 
preserve  memories and and honor a loved one, a pet or a special event such as a vacation or wedding.  Students are asked to bring such items and we can offer items to 'fill in the gaps.  Bring your base (vase, teapot, etc.) or we can 
provide one  (some additional fees may apply).
