Metal talismans and charms have been used by cultures all over the world for
thousands of years, for decoration, personal adornment, protection and
veneration of the lands and gods. Talismans were often carried in a pouch,
sewn into clothing or displayed in the home.

These talismans were charmed with personal energies and unique symbols to
seal in the magic of the specific intentions, to attract all manner of things
including health, wealth, good luck and love. There are also some amazing
examples of curse tablets on display at the Hellenic Museum here in
Melbourne!

In this two hour class you will be guided on different ways to create your own
magic-infused sigils for specific intentions as well as exploring a range of
techniques to create your own personalised tin talismans, using easily
accessible materials. We will then decorate the talismans using bells, beads,
charms, ribbons and other goodies that call to you.

Step into the world of natural beauty and craft your very own lipstick that reflects your personal style. In this workshop, we’ll be diving deep into the realm of lipstick formulation, introducing you to the wondrous properties of cocoa butter, frequently used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Our hands-on session begins with understanding the foundational element – cocoa butter. The luxurious texture and nourishing properties of this ingredient set the stage for creating a range of vibrant lip colors.

After familiarizing ourselves with the basics, we’ll transition into the art and science of lipstick formulation. From selecting the right pigments to understanding the synergy of ingredients, you’ll be guided every step of the way. By the end of our session, you’ll have crafted five lipstick tubes in a shade of your choice.

Feel free to exchange your creations with fellow participants for a diverse color palette or keep your masterpieces for personal use or gifting. Rest assured, all our ingredients uphold the principles of Fair Trade and/or organic sourcing, and we proudly maintain a 100% plastic-free packaging initiative.
