About Event:
Come join Resma Karki in the Chenrezig Art Studio to learn the art of Gold Leafing.
In this workshop, we will guide students through the process of applying gold leaf to a small Buddha statue called a tsa tsa.
The creation of, as well as the offering of paint/ gold to sacred objects such as tsa tsas, statues, and stupas, is a practice that is said to result in great merit and positive energy for the practitioner as well as the recipient. Tsatsas make wonderful additions to an altar, mantelpiece, or any other clean, respectful location.
