Amulet Pockets: Weaving on a Frame Loom

Mondays 10/20, 10/ 27 and 11/3 · 6-9 pm

A three-session workshop, creating weavings as protective amulets while exploring Jewish magic and healing traditions - no experience needed, all welcome. Materials included. Walk away with a completed amulet and a mini frame loom to continue weaving. 

Come weave amulet pockets on the cutest mini frame loom! What’s an amulet pocket? A woven pouch that can be filled with medicinal herbs, affirmations, sweet notes or any mini treasure. 

This workshop is beginner-weaving friendly and all levels welcome! We’ll learn the basics of weaving — how to warp a mini frame loom, basic weaving patterns, playing with color and texture, and finishing techniques including beading and simple embroidery stitches. We’ll also learn and share about traditions of amulets, their protective powers and ways to bring this ancient practice into our daily life. Everyone will walk away with finished weavings and your own loom to bring home for future projects!
