Make Your Own Mini Tarot Deck

Make Your Own Mini Tarot w/ Leif & Erika

Saturday, Feb 21st from 6-8pm UK via Zoom

Plus, an optional body doubling session on Feb 28th at the same time.

This offering is for people who are interested in the idea of creating their own personal tarot deck, people who are looking for a way to deepen their relationship with the cards, and people who are are starting out with tarot and want to learn more about the cards. In this session, we will focus more on the process of creation and intuition - if you are a professional artist looking to create a deck to sell this course is probably not for you. Instead, we will explore the process of creating your own deck from your own perspective. While we will focus on the Rider-Waite deck as our basis, you are welcome to work in whatever way works for you. The first session (Feb 21st) will be all about generating and drafting ideas on a small scale. Almost like thumbnails for a story, participants will come away with the beginning of their own deck which they can then continue to develop during our second session (Feb 28th) which will be devoted to body-doubling/co-working. Participants will come away with some drafts of a few major arcana cards and concepts for exploring the minor arcana.

Participants will need creative materials of their own choosing which can be pens, pencils, crayons, collage, stickers, ipad, or whatever works best for you. A mini tarot deck template will be provided, which will be sent before the session to be printed by the participants.

This course is available at one flat affordable price of £12.

If you're interested in exploring the tarot as a creative tool even further, join Erika and co-facilitator Marina King, for the four week course: Tarot for Creatives: Weaving Intuition with Creative Practice which begins March 7th.
