With Rosemary Riedel O’Brien.

To craft a Womb belt is to create a cloth of honouring, protection and sanctuary. Our bodies, the Earth and all beings are sacred. The loom offers us a way to express our connection to the Land. 

Together, using the rigid heddle loom and a variety of precious spun fibres we will form a Handmade creation that marks the sacredness of our womb spaces. We will fuse the practical elements of making with the magic of meaning. This is a call to deepen into the craft and your connection with your womb space. 

This workshop is suitable for women of all ages and at all stages of life. The womb space is an energetic place within the body, and holds the energy of the root and deep earth. Regardless of whether you’re still bleeding, or if you have a physical womb, this is a place within all bodies that calls to be honoured through the warming presence of woven fabric. 

£105 with all materials included.

This is the second series of Women’s Crafting and Sharing Circles held here at the Dartmoor Wool Loft and hosted by Nat Torr and Suzi Crockford.

Women have, for generations, sat in circles crafting and talking about their lives. It can be deeply nourishing for our nervous systems to be heard & also to listen to others. Add in the self-regulation that crafting brings to our nervous systems & the potential for healing is very rich. 

We are running a 6-month series of women’s sharing and craft circles for women who already have an established craft & who would like to deepen their connection to other women and themselves. This is also suitable for women who would like to set up their own women’s circle and would like to learn more about the format. 

Nat & Suzi have been part of women’s circles for many years and will be facilitating and holding this space. They will be following the ‘Way of Council’ format:  Confidentiality, Speaking from the heart, Listening with the heart, and Being spontaneous & lean of words.  If you’d like to find out more please get in touch. We are offering 1 taster sessions for people who want to try it out and then afterwards we are asking for a commitment to the following 5 month’s of sessions. 

Thursday evenings 6-8pm:

Price is sliding scale: 

£30 / £25 / £20 

per session.

Learn how to make yourself a small sit mat / chair mat using the ancient, traditional and basic art of Peg Looming.  We will teach you the skills so that you can go away and make your own at home as well as making one on the day. 

Peg looming is a simple and rewarding craft; using your hands to stretch and tease the fleece is very therapeutic as well as teaching you the basics of fleece preparation. The simplicity of this skill makes it accessible for beginners up to more experienced weavers and also for children. 

Age 8 upwards; children need to be accompanied & supported by an adult. 

£25 per person including all materials and equipment needed. You’ll have your own sit mat to take home with you.

With support from the Farming in Protected Landscapes programme, delivered by Dartmoor National Park Authority. One bursary / free place for either a young person or those on a low income. Get in touch for more information.
