Thursday Creating - Crafting Night: Creating a Chakana-Inspired Pendant with Polymer Clay

Thursday, 24 April 2025 - Join us for an evening of creativity and cultural exploration in this hands-on workshop, where you’ll craft your own Chakana-inspired pendant using polymer clay. The Chakana, which means 'bridge' or 'to cross over' in Quechua, is a powerful symbol of the universe and all life within it. Though its meaning varies across different Andean communities, the Chakana is universally recognized as a symbol of connection and balance. Led by Chilean designer Josefina Vera Toro (aka Pepa), this workshop invites you to connect with the symbolism of the Chakana while crafting a personalized pendant. Josefina will guide you, helping you create a unique piece that reflects your own interpretation of the Chakana. - 264 The Esplanade, Toronto, ON M5A 4J6, Canada - Event Details
