Altar Art is a new workshop offered by Eugenia Rosa: a Creative, Ritualist and Spiritual Companion. 
Altars have been used for centuries across various cultures and spiritual traditions as sacred spaces that focus energy, intention, and devotion. In the context of creativity, inspiration, and well-being, altars serve as powerful, tangible representations of our inner aspirations and provide a dedicated physical space for nurturing our creative visions and personal growth.
Altar Art: Sacred Space for Creativity and Wellbeing introduces you to the transformative practice of creating intentional sacred spaces. Through this workshop, you'll discover how to ignite your inner creativity, fuel and sustain artistic practices, and bring increased well-being and clarity to your entire being.
In this immersive and hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to craft a personalised altar that serves as a daily source of creative energy and well-being grounding. Whether you’re a seasoned artist, writer, or someone seeking to deepen your connection with your inner self and imagination, this workshop offers practical tools to cultivate clarity, spark new ideas, and enhance your overall well-being.
What You’ll Experience
Guided Creative Exploration: Learn the symbolic meanings of various objects, colours, and elements, and how to choose the ones that resonate with your unique creative goals.
Personalised Altar Design: Receive step-by-step guidance to create an altar that aligns with your personal or professional journey, fostering a deeper connection to your creative source.
Ritual and Intention Setting: Discover how to incorporate daily rituals and practices that amplify your creative flow, reduce stress, and enhance your emotional resilience.
Cultivate a Devotional Practice: Develop a daily routine to honour your altars and your artistic desires and learn how to incorporate meditation and self-care to support and enhance your creative flow.
Community and Connection: Connect with like-minded creatives and spiritual seekers in a supportive, inspiring environment.
Why Attend?
Creating an altar is more than just an artistic endeavour — it’s a sacred practice that can transform your creative process and bring balance to your life. This workshop is your opportunity to:
Manifest Your Creative Visions: Learn how to channel your intentions into tangible outcomes by anchoring them in a dedicated sacred space.
Enhance Your Well-Being: Cultivate a peaceful, inspiring environment that nurtures your mental and emotional health.
Ignite Continuous Inspiration: Create a space that serves as a constant source of motivation, helping you overcome creative blocks and stay aligned with your purpose.

Tutor: Joseph WilsonDuring this 4-week course, we will use conventional black and white analogue materials in conjunction with non-conventional techniques to create images that stradle ordinary photographic representation and alternative vision. We will deviate from standard darkroom production through the practical exploration of a range of techniques such as Sabattier printing, bas relief printing, cameraless photography, and various methods for pushing and pulling film. These otherworldly techniques &ndash; many of which have been the basis for contemporary digital manipulation tools &ndash; offer abundant possibility for alternative photographic vision, where emphasis is placed on the transformative potential of darkroom work.This course would be the perfect follow up from our Intro to B&amp;W or Colour Darkroom courses.All materials including photographic film and paper will be provided during this course.

Based on feedback from those attending our beginners silver clay jewellery classes, tutor Anna Campbell has designed this bespoke&nbsp;intermediate level, full-day workshop to cover what people wanted to learn next: how to make silver clay boxes and beads.
On this intermediate level&nbsp;boxes and beads class you will make three pieces:
<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">a shadow box pendant;</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">a Pandora-style silver wrapped bead; and</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">a silver lentil bead</li>
</ul>
We will cover creating box pendants with flat or rounded sides, using moulds to make decorations, designing the front and back of a piece, making bails, as well as different types of unique silver beads.&nbsp;
You will torch fire all your pieces so they are completed, and ready to take home by the end of the workshop.
The class size is&nbsp;kept small to ensure you have plenty of supervised practice, and Anna&nbsp;will also share lots of hints and tips. By the end of the day, you should have the confidence and skill to start making silver boxes and beads from home.
This full-day intermediate workshop is suitable for anyone who has attended a&nbsp;beginner&rsquo;s silver clay taster&nbsp;or Introduction to silver clay jewellery making workshop, or who has previous experience of working with metal clay.
The introductory price&nbsp;of this workshop&nbsp;includes access to all the equipment you will need, plus&nbsp;all the materials necessary&nbsp;to complete the projects, including 15g of silver clay and a fireable gemstone&nbsp;worth over &pound;30.&nbsp;

<h2 id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What is the course about?</h2>
If you mix up your own glazes, whether just picking recipes from books and web sites or running your own R&amp;D program, this course will help you by showing you what makes glazes leach, or not be food safe, or craze, and what you can do about it.
Much of the content of this course was in the previous version of the Product Safety course, but I have now taken it out into a separate course as many on the Product Safety course do not mix their own glazes. This also allows me to go into the glaze chemistry in a bit more depth.&nbsp;
Six weekly sessions, 19:00 &ndash; 20:30 Also recorded and put onto the course web page so you can view them at other times
The course begins with a quick recap of glaze chemistry and structure. It then looks at how glazes can be attacked in acidic (food) and alkaline (dishwasher) environments, and how you can make your glazes more stable. This includes using tools like Stull and limit formulae, as well as testing glazes in the studio and in the laboratory.&nbsp;
To consider the food safety of glazes, we look at which components may be toxic and at what levels, and combine this with our work on glaze stability. We also look at food safety legislation .
We also consider crazing, to determine in which circumstances it may or may not be acceptable, what causes it, and methods by which you can avoid it.
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What will I achieve?</h2>
By the end of this course you should be able to:
<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understand what is meant by glaze stability</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Know how to use like the UMF, limit formulae, Stull chart and other guidelines to assess potential problems</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understand the mechanisms of glaze leaching in both alkaline (dishwasher) and acidic (food) environments</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understand which materials in glazes are potentially toxic, and how likely it is that a glaze will be toxic</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Know how to test glazes in the studio, and sending glazes to a laboratory for testing</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Take a glaze formula and improve its stability</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understand the causes of crazing</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Take a glaze formula and increase or decrease its tendency to craze</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understand the legislation and standards covering food safety and testing (UK, EU and USA)</li></ul>
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?</h2>
Intermediate to advanced. Some basic knowledge of glaze chemistry and glaze formulation is required.
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?</h2>
The course is primarily run through the weekly online sessions, which are a live lecture where you can also ask questions or get a discussion going. These are recorded and put on the course web page for those who cannot make the course times due to time zones or other commitments, or for those who want to replay them.
Additional material that you may wish to explore is on the course website. This will help you go deeper into the subject matter, should you wish to do so.
There will also be a discussion period towards the end of the course, where we can discuss any of the course material or any more general questions you may have. The date and time will be set up at the start of the course, so as many people as possible can participate even if unable to attend the live sessions.
In addition, the course has an online forum that you can use at any time.
There will be suggestions for you to test some of your pieces and glazes between sessions.
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?</h2>
No advance preparation is needed.
You may want to test some of your work or test tiles (which will probably get damaged in the process).&nbsp; This mostly uses standard studio and kitchen equipment, though the following are useful if available:
<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">A pressure cooker</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Methylene blue or a similar dark stain (5ml is plenty)</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">pH paper or a pH meter</li>

<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Lemon juice or citric acid</li></ul>
You may also want to have some glaze recipes that you can examine during the course.
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What do I get?</h2>
<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Four live lectures with questions and discussions, lasting about 90 minutes each week</li>
