Beeswax is magnificent and midsummer is the perfect time to use and honor it. It is ancient, natural, fascinatingly complex and perfect in its purity and simplicity. We’ll spend class surrounded by the aroma of beeswax; using it to create both candles and art. Students will make miniature replicas of the encaustic (wax painting) funerary portraits of Imperial Roman Egypt and, of course, craft our own spell candles. (The portraits will be made using a transfer technique so no, you do not need to know how to draw.)
This class will be true magic so please do not hesitate to sign up. Michelle will need to gather supplies with accurate student numbers in mind. Class sign ups will close 48 hrs prior to class.
If you would like your ‘painting’ to be of anyone specific (deity or ancestor) please let Michelle know ahead of time. For ancestors you’ll need to email an image or two to oakandhawthorn1@gmail.com by Saturday the 24th.
Michelle VanderHouwen is the owner of Oak and Hawthorn and provides the plant babies for Ritualcravt’s annual plant sale.
Throughout all her years, she has studied art as a window into Spirit and the psyche, and Nature has been her church. Michelle believes that our hands are magnificent communicators. When we let them dig, sculpt, draw, scrape, tie and sew, we are sending messages to and from Heart Center. Our hands, full of sensation but devoid of reasoning, can create pure, honest prayer. In Michelle’s classes she teaches, with a variety of tools, different ways of accessing Spirit using our hands and hearts. Her goal is to help us all access the knowing we had at birth. Michelle is deeply knowledgeable about the spiritual wisdom of nature, studied Shamanic Herbalism with Darcey Blue, and walks with the soul of a Witch.
