Learn to weave a Dreamcatcher with Nicky Samuel

A special workshop supporting our Māori Myths & Legends month of October, create a protective talisman used to protect people from nightmares and bad dreams. Used for young children to hang above their beds, dreamcatchers act like a spider's web, trapping bad dreams while allowing the good ones to filter down through the feathers. In the sun's light the bad dreams are extinguished and only the good dreams remain.

Adult workshop (15+ years)
All materials provided

Things to bring along to the workshop:
Loads of enthusiasm
A great sense of adventure
No skills necessary

Cost $5.00 per participant
