Saturday June 25 | 2 – 5 PM | $65
Featuring: BC Elders
Ojibwa people would tie sinew strands in a web around a small round or tear-shaped frame—in a somewhat similar pattern to how they tied webbing for their snowshoes—and hang this “dream-catcher” as a charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares. The legend is that the bad dreams will get caught in the web. Traditionally Native American dream catchers are small (only a few inches across) and made of bent wood and sinew string with a feather hanging from the netting, but wrapping the frame in leather is also pretty common, and today you’ll often see them made with sturdier string meant to last longer.
This workshop will teach you the basics of making your own dream catchers. An assortment of hoops, cording and feathers will be provided. If you have something special that you’d like to add (feathers beads stones) feel free to bring them and I’ll show you how to incorporate them.
