The First OBJECTS OF DEVOTION Workshop Is Now Available

I’m so pleased to share that the first workshop in my new online series, Objects of Devotion, is now available on my Teachable studio classroom site. 

It’s called The Keeper of Fragments—and in many ways, it feels like a beginning that has been silently forming for years. Here is the link.

If you’ve followed my work over time, you may recognize the thread. The spirit figures, the small altars, the reliquaries, the layered collages—each one, in its own way, has been an object of devotion. Not in a strictly religious sense, but in a deeply human one: a devotion to memory, to meaning, and to the act of making itself.

This workshop is an invitation to explore that idea in your own way.

What Is The Keeper of Fragments?

At its heart, this workshop is about starting simply.

We begin with humble materials—leftover papers, saved scraps, images you couldn’t throw away—and through layering, wrapping, and assembling, something begins to emerge.

We learn to create small faces in clay that carry a sense of shared humanity.

A figure. A presence. A collage archive of where you’ve been.

The Keeper becomes a kind of companion—part spirit figure, part story, part guardian of the fragments that have stayed with you.

How the Workshop Works

This is a self-paced online workshop, designed so you can move through it in your own time, at your own rhythm.

• All videos are fully downloadable
• You can keep them forever as part of your studio practice
• The workshop is $27, and all future Objects of Devotion workshops will be offered at this same accessible price

My hope is that this becomes something you return to—not just a class, but a resource.

A Personal Note

One of the most meaningful parts of developing this series has been hearing from so many of you on the “interest” list.

I’ve been reading your descriptions of your own work, and I’m genuinely inspired by what you’re bringing to this idea. There is such depth, curiosity, and honesty in your responses—it tells me that this series is finding the right people.

If you choose to join The Keeper of Fragments, I would truly value your feedback. Your thoughts will help shape the workshops to come and guide this series as it grows over the coming year.

What’s Next

The second workshop in the series, The Listening Vessel, will be released in late May.

And yes—there will definitely be workshops exploring Altars and Books, along with other forms that continue this idea of devotion through making.

An Invitation

You don’t need special materials.
You don’t need a perfect plan.You just need a few fragments—and the willingness to begin. If this speaks to you, I would love to have you join me.

The Keeper of Fragments is now available in my Teachable studio.

Thank you for being here, and for the work you are already doing. Making is how we practice devotion.
