WHERE: The Forge, Collins Road, Totnes, TQ9 5PJ, Devon
THEME: Weaving Ancestors Landscape Of Grandmother Earth
Join Maggie - Intuitive Healing Artist and Lily - Intuitive Weaver on a journey to secret domain of grandmother spinners weavers and dyers gathering rich inspiration from intuitive painting the landscape of your soul.
Beginning with an Intuitive painting workshop with Maggie then using the inspiration from our paintings to create small woven tapestries with Lily.
Together we will journey to the sacred domain of the grandmother spinners, weavers & dyers. We will be exploring the spiritual connection to the warp and weft & the potent magic that can be woven into a small cloth talisman. After gathering rich inspiration from Maggie’s workshop in which we will access & paint the landscape of our soul, we will take the colours, textures & feeling that was brought forward and weave this into your very own tapestry.
All Art materials will be provided.
Lily will bring her traditional spinning wheels & spindles for you to try your hand at spinning & blending fibre. Each person will receive their own simple cardboard loom, a bundle of yarn & some beads to take away with them to complete their work in their own time if not finished within the time of the workshop. We will be dropping into a place of sacred slow work, a place of deep silence where we can experience the ancient craft of cloth creation.
