Dorrie Joy returns to The Hive this autumn and will be offering this space to create Wildcrafted Rattles with songs and teachings.

Together we will be aking wildcrafted riverstone rattles with twisted braid, amber, shell, bone & antler. Includes songs & rattle teachings. The rattle heads are pre stitched from local native hides. We’ll be shaping, sanding, waxing, oiling and braiding, making these versatile & ancient instruments unique & awake.
