Mosaics: shattered creations

Creation always comes from a sense of brokenness. Nothing begins with a sense of completion. According to Kabbalah, even the creation of the world began with an act of breaking, when the primordial vessel was not able to contain divine light and shattered casting light into the universe. It is with this idea, that participants in this workshop will destroy in order to create anew. During these broken times, participants will be able to release their frustration though the intentional, jarring, act of breaking, and then refocus on the slow meditative act of creating together. After shattering plates into small pieces, participants will work together to transform the broken pieces into a beautiful collaborative mosaic. As each group builds upon the previous groups' work, participants will reflect on what it means to continue someone else's work, what responsibility they have to the previous creators, and to the future creators.
