What makes something 'special' or 'lucky'? During this session, we will be unboxing amulets and charms and exploring how these protective, healing, and often luck-bringing objects can tell stories about how people navigate uncertainty and express hopes for the future. Make your own amulet during a relaxed craft and creative writing session inspired by the objects.
Join us for an afternoon of store tours, objects-in-focus and relaxed activities!
