Two Lavender Weavings In One Workshop!

​​Step into a fragrant glow of creativity in this lavender weaving class, where flowers become art in your hands! You’ll start with twenty aromatic stems of lavender and learn how to twist, fold, and fasten them into a radiant ornament. ​You’ll head home with two of your own handwoven piece of living tradition. The first weave is a Welsh Fan and the second Mexican Corizon. Materials included:

• ​​40 lavender stems

• ​a string to fasten the weave

• ​​1 paper bag to take your weaves home safely

​This craft is a journey through one of the world’s oldest weaving traditions, reimagined for modern makers. ​The origins of this weave lie in an annual craft that celebrated the harvest and honored the spirit of growth during the dormant season. Whether the crops were corn, rice, or wheat, people would weave ornaments from the last grains and hang them in their homes. When planting time returned, these woven pieces were crumbled and mixed with the new seeds, carrying the previous harvest’s blessings back into the soil for the year ahead.
