In this one-day workshop you will be guided to create a needle felted Spirit Doll. Approaching Samhain we will be focussed on creating a spirit doll reflecting the archetype of the Crone as Baba Yaga, Cerridwen, the Caillech, the Witch - or however she appears to you. We will be using music and visualisation to connect with the wise and magical Goddess. You and your creative inspiration are very welcome to join the circle of doll makers.
Spirit dolls are companions, guides, supports, healers for the soul. At their centre they have a medicine bundle containing natural elements such as leaves, bark, gems, herbs, stones, bones, shells, and magical items particular to you.
All materials and equipment are supplied, including core wool, wool for decorating your doll and a selection of natural materials. You will take away your doll and the knowledge of how to create more in your own way. The needle, a sacred tool used to create her/him/them, will be yours to keep.
You need no previous knowledge of needle felting; learning will be experiential, taught and guided in a small group by Michele and Mandie. There will be opportunity in the afternoon for those with some needle felting experience to develop skills in sculpting faces if you so wish.
