Description
Create your own memory jugs with Kerry Leasure! Memory jugs consist of various materials (stones, glass, jewelry, photos, coins and other small trinkets) that are placed on vessels such as jars or glass bottles. Common in Southern Folk Art, memory jugs date back to Victorian and African roots serving as reminders of loved ones who have passed and also to preserve history.
All materials will be provided for this workshop. Since memory jugs serve as personal artifacts, we ask that you bring your own trinkets as well to incorporate into your piece. Your jug can hold the memories of a loved one, place, history, or yourself – anything!
