The term retablo traditionally applies to a broad variety of religious images which are painted and sculpted over much of Latin America. The word comes from the Latin retro tabula, which means behind the (altar) table, where devotional images were typically placed.The Peruvian Retablo art form has evolved to include the depiction of secular scenes of daily life in Peru, and in some cases the subject matter might be political.

What to Expect: You will have all the freedom and guidance you prefer as you create your own one-of-a-kind masterpiece! Jaqui will lead you through the steps she has used in her own practice. This process of building a unique piece of art is deeply soulful and empowering. Your shrine may not be complete when you leave, but you’ll have the tools to continue the work. Jaqui has been working on hers for more than 2 years! 

Take Aways: You will leave with a unique piece of art all your own and resources (including news about future classes). Hopefully you will find inspiration to continue your own art practice. This world can be challenging and we need to gather energy and inspiration from each other.

If you’d like to bring your own supplies — we will be using cardboard or wooden boxes as the main structure of the shrine. If you have personal ‘talisman’ pieces to include, please bring them. We will use acrylic pens, E600 glue, hot glue, and/or other attaching methods to affix. As some folks are sensitive to the fumes of hot glue and E600, other materials can be substituted.
