painting on natural stone
hearts of stone
Hearts of Stone workshops at the California Center for Creative Renewal.
Create your very own heart of stone in the colors and image you desire.
In this workshop you will learn the contemporary fresco process used to break, paint and mend your own heart of stone. All hearts are beautiful works of art, ready to hang on the wall or stand in an easel.
We will journal throughout the day, writing poetry to express the experience. Haiku and tanka will be taught.
This workshop takes place on the beautiful, safe and spiritual grounds of the California Center for Creative Renewal in Encinitas, CA. and is facilitated by art therapist, Ellen Speert.

"What appears to be a fun and fabulous workshop on making a "heart of stone", morphed into a lingering meditation for me. My poignant wire mended travertine heart is hanging on my wall near my bed and it speaks to me as I fall to sleep. I understand its message that, as we get older we experience life's small betrayals and intense losses and although they may break our hearts at the time, we have the capacity to mend if we choose to. I loved working the fresco techniques d.goth taught us...I look forward to trying some of this on canvas." Kate McCavitt
