Design your own tarot cards

Tarot cards are visual stories about change, transformation and key stages that shape our lives. In this hands on workshop, you will draw on the symbolism of tarot archetypes – beginnings, thresholds, loss, and renewal, to create your own symbolic artworks that capture your relationship with life, death and the in-between.  

Across two workshops you will be guided through the process of creating digital designs through to a printed outcome that can adorn your home, capturing those key moments of your life story.  

This workshop takes place over two days, Saturday 5 May and Saturday 23 May. You are expected to attend both sessions, as they build upon each other. 

This event runs in conjunction with Dearly Departed: death in life, State Library's exhibition exploring mortality through history, art and personal stories. Attendees are encouraged to explore the exhibition before or after the activation to engage more deeply with its themes and artworks.   

Tickets go on sale 12 March

This event forms part of Dearly Departed: death in life and engages with themes of death, dying, grief and remembrance.  This event may contain photographs, videos and recordings of people who have since passed, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
