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). ✨ Details: April 20 | 6–8PM Fernwood Community Arts (Gladstone Studio) Accessible entrance, washroom + kitchen available
