Artist's Studio Presents.... Star Cards!

Olive Branch, ELCA

Experience collaborative art and bring home a "Star Card" with your own guiding word for 2021

Mount Olive Lutheran Church

We have a space for you to be creative in community this winter. Creative expression is one of the ways we can let all the pandemic and other life emotions be felt - and set free. We will provide everything you need, just show up!

Our January 4 workshop is: Star CardsWhat are Star Cards?Great Question. A Star Card is a collaborative piece of art that contains a star word specifically chosen for you. You will be able to take your card with you, and keep it in your home/workspace in 2021.What is a star word?It is an intention word, or a guiding word, that can serve as a reminder for you throughout the year. It may help you focus during meditation or become a centering word for your prayer life. It is called a star word because of its tie to Epiphany - the day in the church year where we celebrate the Magi&#x27;s arrival to visit Jesus, having followed a star to find their way. How will I get my star word?We will have plenty of star words available, arranged face down, and you will be invited to choose one. Since you won&#x27;t see the words, in many ways this is more about receiving a word than choosing one. It is a practice in not being in control, but trusting in a deeper knowing.What is this collaborative process?You will begin by putting your star word on a 5x7 card. Then, everyone in attendance will have a chance to collaborate in the artistic expression that surrounds your star word. We will ensure this is both fun and safe - with plenty of hand sanitizer and thoughtful ways of sharing art from one to another. What else should I know before registering?Know that we are thrilled to see both familiar and new faces.Know that you do not have to consider yourself an artist to attend and contribute. You can participate at any level you feel comfortable, including cutting and pasting if that&#x27;s your jam.Know that you do not need to be a member of our faith community or any faith community to attend. This is about art and fellowship and support.Thanks to <a href="https://sanctifiedart.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">A Sanctified Art,</a> for the list of star words we will be using and for their inspiration.
