What You’ll Create

Across four immersive sessions, you will design and build a one-of-a-kind 16x20 gallery-wrapped crystal artwork, crafted with authentic materials including:

• Venetian plaster (made of limestone & marble dust), color JADE.

• Authentic healing crystals

• Freshwater pearls

• Sand

• A professional wire installation for hanging your finished piece

Each step of the process has been carefully curated to give your artwork the polished, professional quality Melissa’s pieces are known for.
