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 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 grief, a returning home, a rite of passage.

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 one's journey here.

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.

  • This could be to mark the crossing of any great threshold in your life.
