During the course of this afternoon, hands on workshop, students will explore symbolic jewelry, ranging from charmed talismans to the secretive, coded jewelry of esoteric societies.

Working with found materials, students will create pendants as well as crafting their own wearable symbols, using a variety of sculpting materials. Incorporating these personal charms into hand chains, or copper bracelets, Charmed Symbolism from the Masons to the Occult reveals this rich and clever method of communicating secret codes and enriching powers.
