Tarot Workshop with Isabella Koban
Just like the world of horror cinema, Tarot can inspire and reveal deeper meanings within us, and act as a powerful tool for unlocking subconscious desires. Part of this power comes from the art itself, and during this workshop you will be harnessing the symbolism of Tarot to design your very own card. Each attendee to this workshop will be given a specially designed Tarot card template to collage, draw, paint and embellish, with guidance on symbolism and style. All materials will be provided, and no experience is required - just bring a mind open to inspiration, and we will work with you to create your own unique Tarot card to take home. Each attendee will also receive a bonus hand-printed linocut card, featuring an original Tarot design inspired by some of the most killer women in horror.
