When: 3rd November, 2-4pm  

Where: Art and Spirituality Centre, 6-8 Alexander Drive, EH11 2RH Edinburgh  

Free to attend – all materials provided.  

This workshop holds deep personal meaning for us. As members of the international community living far from home, many of us share the experience of losing loved ones without the chance to grieve in person. This event is dedicated to providing a space for our international community to reflect, remember, and honour the final moments shared with those dear to us. However, everyone is welcome to join us in this space of remembrance and connection.

The event is sponsored by Absent Friends.

We prioritize the area of Gorgie-Dalry-Saughton where our studio is based. 

By attending this class you release the teacher, Giada Gaslini and Art and Spirituality Cic, from any liability arising out of any personal injuries, emotional or physical release, death, expectations of results, theft in the venue or damages that may happen to people and objects while attending.
