Weaving the selkie skin

An in person journey spread over 6 months, working with Cauldron
Spindle and Loom to create your own blanket of belonging, your own
medicine shawl, your own Selkie Skin.

This is either a 1-1 or 2-1 in person offering taking place at my home studio in Stroud.

 

During our time together we will work with the crafts of Natural dyeing,
Spinning and Weaving to create a shawl which honours a time of
transformation in your life, a process of initiation, a rite of passage.

This could be to mark the crossing of any great threshold in your life. It could be retrospectively honouring your Menarche, it could be to
acknowledge your passage into Matrescence or Patrescence, it could be a holding for you during your Menopause journey, or to welcome your time as Elder, it could be to celebrate a Birth, or to
honour a Death, it could be a shroud to honour the journey onto the next cycle.

 

For whichever time you are meeting in your life I will gently guide you to
create natural dyes working with plants and trees who make themselves
known to you, to blend wools with a drum carder, spin yarn on a drop
spindle or Spinning wheel, warp the loom and weave your shawl. I work with the craft in a ceremonial way, which honours our Ancestors, and the Animate Earth
we live with and ones journey here.


Throughout our time together I will bring in Animist rituals which have
been passed to me through my teachers along this woven path. I will also
include gentle grounding meditations.


I work with a clear framework for our time together and also intuitively
within that, and so the way I work with each individual will vary, but my
intention always remains the same, which is to hold a protective, well paced,
and welcoming space for you to honour your journey and be held by the
weaving process.

During the 6 months we will meet once a month on either the first Thursday or Friday. You can expect the days to run from 10-4pm, a simple lunch of vegetarian/Vegan soup will be provided, along with herbals teas, and snacks.

The monetary exchange for this covers the cost of all the materials needed to create your shawl which will be with you for life, it was also include the companionship of one of my Looms and a Spindle for the duration of the 6 months, plus lunch, teas, snacks, and my presence and guidance with you for the journey.
