The Sentimental Object: Hair Jewelry & Mourning Adornment with Kristen Hedge
July 8 @ 6:30pm
Join silversmith Kristen Hedge for a two-hour workshop exploring Victorian hair jewelry and memento mori traditions. Participants will learn techniques for weaving hair, constructing delicate hair flowers, and preserving sentimental objects in resin to create keepsake necklaces or rings inspired by historical mourning jewelry and contemporary memory objects. Materials may include hair, dried botanicals, fabric fragments, photographs, letters, or other small personal objects that hold emotional significance.
No experience is necessary. Participants are encouraged to bring small sentimental materials to incorporate into their work.
Space is limited; registration required. Scholarships are available upon request. Registration opens one month prior to workshop; committed participants encouraged. Please dress for changing weather conditions.
