Stone, fibre, intention.

An ancient act of making whole, remembered by living hands.

The Medicine of Making

Join artist & ceremonialist Ruth Dillon to create a ritual vessel for holding your prayers using one of the oldest weaving techniques known to humanity.

Basketry is an ancient and universal craft, with techniques and materials passed down through generations. It’s believed to predate both pottery and weaving. During this workshop you will learn how to make a mesolithic twined basket, then we will join in ceremony as we place and seal our prayers within.

In an age of ever-increasing artificial intelligence and automation, making something with your hands is a radical act of remembering that reconnects us to our inherent wholeness.
