“Of Gods, Men…and Tourists”

04:30 pm to 05:30 pm
Mathers Museum of World Cultures

The paantu is considered a protective deity by the people in a small Japanese town. But throngs of tourists that come each year tend to see it as a monster. What happens when a town has to think about how to protect its guardian deity? Kate Schramm, a PhD Candidate in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, and a co-curator of the exhibit MONSTERS! explores “Of Gods, Men…and Tourists” in the free public lecture.

(you will be notified by the morning of Saturday, April 2, if the class has NOT reached minimum occupancy). In this two-hour jewelry making session, you will make a Clear Quartz Crystal Point Necklace.

This class includes:
One Clear Quartz Point
Complimentary wine or tea
All the supplies needed to create your one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry

ABOUT CLEAR QUARTZ:
Clear Quartz is known as a “feel better” stone because it can channel energy that you need. A thought, intention, or goal can be amplified with quartz. This stone helps focus the mind and relieve negativity. A clear quartz point can be used as protection when worn over a sensitive energy center on the body.

This class is taught by jewelry designer and healing crystal expert Jessica Ann Miller. Because she’s a crystal healer, you will be able to ask any questions you’ve ever had about crystals!

How the piece is made:
Electroforming is a type of modern alchemy where particles of copper form a coating through electrodeposition. Pure copper is known to amplify crystal energy, boost flow of chi, and bring vitality and luck. Once you design your piece, you leave it with us to complete the electroforming process. It takes 12-36 hours to get a nice copper deposition. You can take a peak in our studio to see what’s “cooking.” Your jewelry piece will be available for pick up approximately one week after class date.
