Lady of the Radiant Flame: Create a Brigid Prayer Painting in Mixed Media Collage
Join me for “Lady of the Radiant Flame,” an online sacred art workshop for lovers of the Divine Feminine, especially those who are drawn to Brigid, the Celtic Goddess of Poetry, Healing, and Transformation.
We’ll go into the virtual studio and I will lead you, step by step, into creating a prayer painting — a unique collage portrait of Brigid and her sacred symbols (especially her sacred fire of creativity). The sample collage shown here is just one example of what you can create in this workshop.
Artistic experience isn’t required for this project. I’ll be taking you through the process, so even if you think you have no artistic talent (don’t believe it!), you can still create a beautiful icon. You’ll learn mixed media techniques and play with paint, paper, ink, glue, and more. I’ll provide imagery that you can download and incorporate into your piece (including the face of Brigid from my painting “Brigid’s Fire”).
Best of all, the collage prayer painting will become a focus for your heart’s yearnings, hopes, and dreams, all the secret places inside you that need healing or expression. The finished piece itself will be an offering and a talisman, a focus for prayer and transformation.
For every act of creation is an act of magic.
I’d love to have you join me! Together we will create our devotional offerings to Brigid, the Radiant Flame of Gold, the Summoner of Spring.
“Lady of the Radiant Flame” is open for registration now. The workshop materials (videos and PDFs) will be delivered on February 5th.
$97.00 ~ EARLY BIRD PRICE through January 28th! ~ $75.00How it works:
On February 5th, you’ll receive an email with links to the videos and instructional PDFs. The workshop is designed to take place over a couple of weekend afternoons, although you may work more quickly (or more slowly!) than I do.
You’ll also receive an invitation to join a private Facebook group, where you can ask me questions about the process and share your work with others in the class. The Facebook group will be open for three weeks, until February 26th.
Between now and February 5th, you can gather your supplies and get ready to make some magic!
We will cover:
- Beginning with intention and ceremony.
- Learning about Brigid, and how you resonate with Her.
- Gathering imagery and text. (Some of each will be provided.)
- Working out a composition.
- Choosing a color scheme.
- Creating a background with papers, paint, and stencils.
- Adhering collage elements.
- Adding visual and symbolic interest with stamps, pastels, paint, ink, fabric, ephemera, and natural elements.
- Telling the story of your prayer painting.
- Practicing visio divino with your prayer painting.
You will need these materials (click here for list).
This is the first in a series of Sacred Art Online Workshops I’ll be offering this year. It makes a nice companion to “30 Days of Brigid.”
