DREAMCATCHER WORKSHOP
Sunday June 4, 1-6pm
History of Dreamcatchers Dreamcatchers are a traditional aboriginal craft found predominantly in Lakota, Ojibwa, Navaho and Cree culture. The weaving catches the bad dreams and nightmares entangling them within the web. The good dreams to flow through the web and slide down to the feathers to the dreamer. In the Morning, the bad dreams and nightmares entangled in the web evaporate in the sunlight, just as drops of dew on a spider’s web. The feathers take the hopes and dreams on the wings of the bird’s spirits to creator. ---- Details: We will begin with a traditional smudge and welcome to bless our Dreamcatchers. Chantal share the story of the Dreamcatcher and the deeper meaning behind the legend. She will be your guide, instructing how to create your Dreamcatcher step by step through Wrapping the Hoops, Weaving the Web & Adding the Feathers. Chantal will also include teachings of the Medicine Wheel. We will have coffee, tea, water, juice, and snacks. Let us know if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions. ---- Materials: Suede Lacing – Multiple Colours Metal Hoops –4’, 5’, 6’, 7’, or 8’ Rings Feathers – Assorted Colours, Sizes and Styles Beads – Glass, Bugle, Fancy and Pony Beads ---- Payment: We humbly request $40/Person for instruction and materials.
