Celebrate the
miracle of La Virgen de Guadalupe
in historic San Miguel de Allende this December 10-19, 2013.
Discover what Our Lady of Guadalupe,
the most beloved symbol of Mexico, represents for your personal life,
on my LOVING LUPITA tour of
Guadalupe festivals,
Christmas posadas, processions, folk artisans, and colonial churches.
Special guest
will lead a not to be missed two-day Memory Nicho workshop
that will enhance our exploration of La Lupita
and dovetail perfectly with all our excursions.
Laurie will guide you in creating a wooden shadowbox shrine
Laurie will guide you in creating a wooden shadowbox shrine
(in Spanish: nicho)
to contain all the symbols that have touched your soul in Mexico,
and express your adoration of La Lupita.
As the focal figure of your nicho,
you will make a reverse-glass painting of the Guadalupe,
employing the Medieval style used for painting sacred icons.
Laurie will provide all the templates you will need to create your version
of a traditional or contemporary image of La Lupita.
Inspired by Laurie's traditional memory jug techniques
Inspired by Laurie's traditional memory jug techniques
in her popular MEMORY JUGS BOOK,
you will embellish your wooden altar with found-object adornments
scavenged in the marketplaces of San Miguel,
and from your personal treasure trove at home.
Using paints and gilding,
the entire surface of your nicho will develop a richly-textured patina,
to mimic the antique gilded altars we will visit in
San Miguel's famed colonial churches.
