INTRODUCTION TO FENG SHUI - THE ORIENTAL ART OF PLACEMENT

Improve the harmony and balance in your life by applying the techniques of this ancient Asian art of placement. Feng Shui, literally translated “wind water,” combines centuries-old philosophies (Tao, yin/yang) into guidelines for arranging your living and working environments. Learn the best placement for your bed or desk. Learn about negative influences in your physical surroundings and specific things to do to correct these problem areas to enhance your career, family life, health, and prosperity. Lecture will include discussion of the philosophy behind Feng Shui, case examples, handouts and a short workshop session identifying the Feng Shui grid as it applies to your home.

Add “faux-carved” motifs to plain doors for great details. Paint a delicate rococo flower motif for an elegant and sophisticated touch. Finally, this romantic scene from a “French Toile” fabric will turn any bedroom into a charming private retreat! All supplies included. Class is limited to 10 students in order to provide individual hands on instruction.
