Spend four Saturdays exploring the art, symbolism, and stories of historic cemeteries—and transform what you discover into an original work of art.

We begin with our Cemetery Art History Tour at Tampa’s historic Woodlawn Cemetery, where we’ll study cemetery art and symbolism, hear the stories held within its monuments, and gather visual inspiration through sketching, charcoal rubbings, and clay-and-ink impressions.

Then, over three Saturday workshops at Wave & See Creative Sanctuary, we’ll transform those collected motifs, textures, symbols, and impressions into finished works of art.

Your $169 registration includes:

OCTOBER 3 — CEMETERY ART HISTORY TOUR
Begin with an art history and cemetery symbolism presentation, followed by a guided tour of Woodlawn Cemetery with Andrew Lumish, “The Good Cemeterian.” We’ll finish with hands-on creative exploration and begin collecting imagery and impressions for our artwork.

OCTOBER 10 — ENVISION
Connect with your creative intuition through guided meditation and begin developing your cemetery findings into an original composition. We’ll explore sketching, composition, visual storytelling, and ways of combining the imagery that resonated with you.

OCTOBER 17 — CREATE
Learn practical methods for transferring your sketch onto a final surface and begin bringing your piece to life. Explore techniques including drawing, watercolor, collage, mixed media, and more with hands-on guidance from professional artist Hannah Lorra.

OCTOBER 24 — CREATE + REFLECT
Continue developing and finishing your artwork with guided instruction and dedicated studio time. We’ll conclude our creative journey by coming together to share our pieces, reflect on the process, and contemplate what the experience brought forward for each of us.

All materials are included.

Your registration includes the Cemetery Field Kit used during the October 3 tour, plus the paper, paints, brushes, pencils, sketching materials, and other shared art supplies needed throughout the workshop.

You’re also welcome to incorporate personal materials, photographs, collage elements, or favorite art supplies into your final piece.
