You are cordially (and slightly suspiciously) invited…

Before the fires are lit and the veil gets thin, we gather.

Not for chaos.

For preparation.

Beltane has always been a threshold—

a crossing from winter into abundance…

and if you ask the old stories, not everything that crosses with you is friendly.

So, we make protection.

Join us for an intimate, hands-on workshop where four artists conspire to help you create your own Beltane protection pouch—crafted from linen (used across Ireland, Scotland, and Isle of Man), printed with a first-ever collaborative design, and filled with locally gathered rosemary + lavender.

This isn’t just crafting.

It’s remembering.

🌿 What’s inside the circle:

  • A custom lino print collaboration (Brianna Bear × September’s Earths Sheena)
  • Pacific West Coast–inspired Celtic linework, carved and hand-printed
  • Upcycled linen + hand-filled herbal blends
  • Guided, gentle circle space exploring:
    • protection + threshold crossing
    • your relationship to land (past + present)
    • quiet introductions to the Good People (yes, them)

Hosted + held by artists and facilitators rooted in textile, restoration, and community practice—this is a space to make something meaningful and understand why it matters.

No sewing experience needed. Just curiosity (and maybe a little respect for what you can’t see).
