SO FUN!About this EventI promise this will be joyful and fun! I've been waiting YEARS to be able to make this happen. I spend a lot of time in cemeteries surrounded by nature, art, and history. There's so much to appreciate. Graceland Cemetery is one of the most stunning. Naturally, I am THRILLED to be offering a memento mori embroidery workshop at Graceland. What to expect:A lovely afternoon outside learning to embroider (tables, chairs, and all materials provided) with a few dozen of the coolest Chicagoland folks around. I'll teach you everything you need to know to stitch a masterpiece. We will celebrate life and probably talk about death because let's be honest...we don't do that enough and we should. We will make our own memento mori's (or not...I really don't care what you stitch...I just want you to be there to make art and be in community). Nothing somber here; just community members making art and having conversation in a beautfiul arboretum! Did you know Graceland is also an arboretum?! You have to see this place. What is a memento mori?Memento mori is an artistic symbol or trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death. The concept has its roots in the philosophers of classical antiquity, and appeared in funerary art and architecture from the medieval period onwards. - WikipediaEveryone is welcome.
