Local artist Jan Wright is holding a free workshop on Thursday that utilizes her ?"Hands of the Ancients" medicine cards.

The 28-card deck features Wright's watercolor paintings of rock art, dwellings, artifacts and other iconography from the Four Corners region.

During the workshop, Wright will show participants how to spread the cards "to energetically receive guidance from the Ancient Ones," according to a notice about the event from the Mancos Public Library.

Use of cards during the workshop will be provided by the artist, and additional decks of cards will be available for purchase.

Visit the library to view a selection of the watercolor paintings from the artist's series. These paintings are featured through August on the library's Art Wall. The workshop is Thursday, Aug. 20 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. More information: Call the Mancos Public Library at 970-533-7600.
