Join Jia Sung in a guided workshop that explores the process of researching and creating your own tarot deck! We’ll take a look at the ways that artists share their personal stories and iconography through the medium of tarot.

The session will begin with a short lecture where Jia will give a general introduction to tarot and the inspiration behind her own hand-painted deck, which blends traditional tarot with Chinese mythology and Buddhist iconography. After a brief demonstration of how to give a one-card reading, participants will work through a series of prompts to generate their own tarot imagery, based on the concepts of their pulled tarot card, translated through their own personal symbols.

This workshop is for all experience levels with tarot and/or art!

Materials & refreshments are provided. 
Max Capacity: 8 students

😷 THIS IS A MASK-REQUIRED WORKSHOP 😷
We have free masks for you, but prefer that you bring your own to reduce waste.

Her work has been exhibited at institutions such as Wave Hill, the Hessel Museum, and EFA Project Space, has appeared in publications including The Paris Review, The New Yorker, and the Poetry Foundation, and is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, SFMOMA, and the Special Collections at Yale, RISD, and SAIC.
