Discover the Indigenous art of crafting dreamcatchers, believed to bring you positive dreams.
Hang them above your sleeping space to keep bad dreams at bay while letting the good ones flow through, guided by feathers. The unwanted dreams are ensnared in the web, vanishing with the first light of day.
At this creative workshop, led by Algonquin Métis visual artist, educator, and Knowledge Keeper Diane Montreuil, you’ll craft your dreamcatcher with enduring materials like soft hide, sinew, and wooden rings. Beads and feathers are carefully added to beckon good dreams your way.
During this two-hour workshop, Diane will share teachings and Indigenous Ways of Knowing surrounding the winter season and solstice. All materials will be provided.
