Rattle Making Workshop

Welcome to the Rattle Making Workshop happening in Forest Hill, South East London on July 19, 2025 at 1:30 PM.

Join us for a fun-filled afternoon where you'll get to create your very own unique rattles!

No experience necessary - just bring your creativity and enthusiasm.

Join our get together and enjoy a hands-on crafting experience.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn a new skill and connect with like-minded individuals. See you there!

You'll be taking 2 rattles home!

And as rattle making is a 2 part process -

Part 1: You'll be creating your rattle from scratch - choosing your own shape and then taking it home to harden and complete it at home.

Part 2: You'll be completing a premade rattle that you will add in the sound and any additional decorations you choose. And give you the skills, experience and guidance so you can complete your other Rattle in a few days once it's hardened.

Bring:

A stick for the rattle you'll make yourself. (make sure it feels good in your hand and isn't to heavy, long or big to shake.) You'll receive more details about this on booking.

Sounds - a small handful of anything you'd like to put in your rattle to make the rattle sound. (eg. pulses, small stones, crystal chips, small shells, small pieces of resin or incense that are hard.) Use your intuition to find things that resonate with you and your intention for your rattle.

Beads/Feathers (optional) - If you'd like to add beads or feathers onto your rattle.

What's provided:

Animal hide to cut and create your rattle.

Sewing equipment, tools and materials to create your rattle.

A premade part made rattle - that you will finish.

Some bits and pieces to put in the rattles that you can add to your own collection of sounds if you wish.
