What to Expect
Join this joyful stitching workshop where you will create a personal amulet pouch using recycled hand-dyed woollen blankets. Lani Ramsey will guide you through 2-3 stitching techniques, including how to attach beads, shisha mirrors, sea glass, and shells to embellish your pouch. Each participant receives a kit with all materials needed to decorate and line their pouch.
Consider bringing a special object or amulet to keep inside your pouch, which will be approximately 10 x 10 centimetres when finished. Even if you don't complete your pouch during the workshop, you will have everything to finish it at home.
Amulets are traditionally personal objects believed to offer protection or empowerment, often kept in small, attractive pouches. This workshop offers a creative and meaningful way to make your own.
