Daruma Doll Workshop with Christine McLennan

Daruma Doll workshop with Christine McLennan

Christine is a multi-talented performer and artist and VisArt is excited to present this work shop in Daruma Doll making!

The Daruma doll became a symbol of good luck during the Edo Period (1603 – 1868). The doll’s red color has long been believed to ward off evil, and was even used to protect people from epidemics. This eventually evolved into the belief that the Daruma doll can help make your dreams come true.

This tradition of making wishes and promises on Daruma comes from Zen Buddhism, which emphasizes the importance of meditation.

What a special event! Join us for an extremely creative mid-day adventure!
