Weaving seasonal magic into textiles!✨
Join textile artist Murron Fraser for a gentle, creative workshop inspired by the tradition of wishing trees and the wild beauty of the summer season. In this session, we’ll create Wild Wishing Wreaths - textile-based, nature-infused pieces inspired by ancient customs of tying wishes to trees and the cycles of nature.
You’ll be guided through intuitive textile techniques using hand-dyed fabrics, embellishments and threads while we explore personal wishes, seasonal reflections, and folkloric symbolism.
Why “Wishing Wreaths”?
Wishing trees have long been places of offerings, where cloth, ribbons, or tokens are tied to branches as a gesture of hope or a wish. In this workshop, we carry on that tradition through the creation of personal wreaths, stitched with stories, nature, and gentle intention.
🌿 Explore symbolism in nature and the meaning behind wishing trees and seasonal cycles.
🌿Use repurposed materials and applied textile-making techniques to create a sculptural wreath that explores intuitive making.
🌿Leave with a finished wreath, perfect to hang in your space or gift to another.
No experience needed, this workshop is designed to help you slow down, explore your creativity and reconnect with nature through folk tales! ✨
