Welcome to Jewish Magic Herbal Pottery where we will weave together ritual, magic, creativity, and Jewish herbalism. Join us for a connective class where we will be making ritual vessels, discussing the value of everyday ceremony, identifying our own herbal allies, and spending time together in community. Everyone will be making one incantation bowl or amulet, to be glazed and ready for pick-up 4ish weeks after our time together. This workshop will be a mix of unleashing your inner artist, Jewitch, and herbal garden gnome! No experience with either pottery, ritual, or Jewish magic needed. Come as you are!
Registration to participate in this SCENT-FREE workshop is required in advance. There are 15 spots available for this workshop, so please register responsibly. If you are unable to make it, please give us advance warning so that we can give your spot to the next person on the waitlist.
We thank Or Shalom for their hospitality in hosting us again. We appreciate their ongoing support of JQT activities!
