Collage Club:
Oracle Decks
Create your own oracle deck in community this fall
Saturdays 2:30-4:30 pm PDT, October 25-November 15
Collage Club
Similar to a tarot deck, an oracle deck is a set of cards used for reflection, divination, or spirituality. Oracle cards can be based around any theme and do not follow the 78-card structure of a tarot deck. In this workshop, we’ll teach you how to make your own personalized oracle deck from a deck of playing cards and collage materials.
Ever wished you could find an oracle deck specific to your niche hobby or interest? Want to build your collection but feel intimidated by the price of most oracle decks? Learn how to make your own instead!
Although we will have significant in-class hands on time, this workshop will require some outside of class crafting. Each week, we'll introduce a new step and guide you through beginning it. By the end of our month together, you'll have a completed oracle deck, perfect for using in your own reflection or to give as a gift.
We once spent three weeks sitting next to each other mostly in silence, absolutely hyperfixating on the decks we were making. We learned a lot of tips and tricks along the way and want to share them with you—so your process can be focused on fun, intuitive crafting without all the stressful roadblocks we ran into.

Sliding Scale Pricing
$222 regular price (live and asynchronous):
This is the actual cost of the workshop and what most participants will pay. This price ensures we are paid sustainably for the labor that goes into planning and facilitating workshops.
$272 community support:
This price point is for participants who a) can comfortably afford both basic needs with expendable income, and b) those who believe in this community and want to contribute to a scholarship fund for those who may not be able to access full-priced workshops. Consider it a pay it forward gesture for another writer!
