In conjunction with this exhibit is the “Building Altars” Workshop on Saturday, June 27 from 9:30am-5pm. The workshop will be lead by Lori K. Gordon. The traditional role of altars is to remind oneself of sacred ground. Altars can be created around traditional religious themes, or they can focus on very personal ideas of the sacred. Participants will create small altars from tins or boxes. The workshop is $80 for Del Ray Artisans members and $95 for non-members, plus a $20 supply fee. You must be at least 18 years old to participate. For more details and registration, please visit: www.TheDelRayArtisans.org/Altars
