Making Intuitive Amulets & Pendants
by Despina Papadeas
Join Chicago-based ceramicist Despina of Depy Zepo for a hands-on workshop exploring the ancient art of amulet-making through clay. Inspired by time-honored techniques and sacred objects from across cultures, this class invites participants to connect with clay as both a grounding material and a vessel for personal meaning. Using traditional hand-building methods, texture tools, and your own intuition, you'll create amulets and pendants that echo the symbols, forms, and functions of protective talismans and pendants.
Whether you're drawn to ancient symbols, modern abstractions, or quiet marks of memory, your creations will be shaped by both history and the present moment. No prior ceramics experience is needed—just an open mind and a willingness to explore clay as a ritual and expressive material.
