Whether you’re drawn to their spiritual roots or simply love the aesthetic, making your own Mala will be both relaxing and inspiring. A Mala necklace is more than just jewelry — it’s a symbol of mindfulness, intention, and personal expression. Traditionally used for meditation and reflection, Malas have also become a beloved statement piece, recognized for their elegant strands and signature tassel. Whether you’re seeking a meaningful tool for your practice or a beautiful accessory, this class is for you. In this creative workshop, you’ll learn the art of knotting between stones — a valuable technique that can be applied to creating or repairing other jewelry such as pearl or beaded pieces--while also learning about the history and significance of the Mala necklace. With guided instruction, you’ll design and craft your own necklace, ready to wear or gift as a truly special handmade treasure. The cost includes everything you need: gemstones, natural stone beads, silk thread for knotting, and a tassel. There are many options to choose from in color, stone types, and alternatives to the tassel.
