A creative space to remember, express, and make something meaningful after loss.

​

Grief does not always have words.

​

Making something with our hands can provide another way to express what is difficult to say, hold space for memories, and create a tangible connection to someone who has died.

​

Mourning & Bereavement Art Workshops offer guided opportunities for individuals and groups to explore grief through creative practice. No previous art experience is necessary.

​

Workshops can incorporate materials such as personal photographs, textiles, found objects, written memories, natural materials, and other meaningful items.

​

Possible workshop projects include:

​

• Memory boxes and shadow boxes

• Memorial assemblages

• Wearable remembrance objects

• Found-object keepsakes

• Memory vessels

• Personal memorial sculptures

• Written and visual remembrance projects

• Collaborative memorial artworks

• Sterling silver ring making

• Pierced and Cut Metal Charm Making

• Precious Metal Clay Charm Making

​

Workshops can be adapted for families, community groups, senior communities, caregivers, organizations, and other groups experiencing loss or transition.

​

The intention isn't to “fix” grief. It is to create space for it—to remember, connect, express, and make something that carries meaning.

​

THE PROCESS

1. Conversation & Planning
For private or organizational workshops, we begin by discussing the group, the nature of the gathering, and what kind of creative experience would be appropriate.

​

2. Choose the Project
Together, we select a project that fits the group, setting, available time, and materials.

​

3. Gather & Reflect
Participants may be invited to bring photographs, objects, written memories, or other materials connected to the person or experience they wish to honor.

​

4. Create
I guide participants through the artistic process while allowing space for conversation, reflection, memory, and individual expression.

​

5. Complete & Share
Participants leave with a personal creation that can serve as a tangible reminder of the person, relationship, or memory they chose to honor.
