Step into the sacred tradition of Dreamcatcher making, rooted in the wisdom of Native American culture. Dreamcatchers were originally crafted by the Ojibwe people, woven as protective talismans to catch bad dreams and negative energy in their webs, while allowing peaceful visions to flow through. Hanging above one’s resting place, they became symbols of protection, harmony, and the belief that beauty and spirit can be intertwined in daily life.
In this workshop, you’ll be guided through the old ways of creating your own dreamcatcher, working with a large collection of feathers, beads, and natural materials. As you weave and adorn your dreamcatcher, you’ll bring forth your own energy and intentions, creating a truly personal piece to take home—one that is both beautiful and spiritually meaningful.
This workshop takes place in Alumia Design Studio, a unique and magical space nestled inside our handmade jewelry shop. The studio is filled with creative energy and the spirit of craft, where many kinds of workshops come to life: from jewelry-making to crystal wire trees, to calming zen gardens. Each workshop is an invitation to reconnect with your creativity, your spirit, and the timeless art of making by hand.
