Cloak making workshop participants visit the Witches Market in Portarlington.
Last year I had the good fortune to come across Cara and her cloak making workshop. Not only did this class offer friendships, life long connections, and beautiful cloak, it also offered me a wonderful bonding experience with my teenager. Together we let our inner selves come out choosing the fabric and adornments that would soon become our gorgeous cloaks. Crafted in a peaceful intimate setting, cloaks and memories for a lifetime. All off this comes out in the final product, which receives smiles and compliments whenever she comes out with me; yes, she! She has a personality and presence all of her own. I will be forever grateful for your shared knowledge and connection Cara. Thank you
What a great opportunity this is to connect with like minded Pagans, coming together to create a truly magical outfit. I am so happy to see this course is running again! I learnt a lot on sewing under the guidance of Caroline Cara Denigan. I love my cloak, but probably even more due to the circumstances it was created in. This is a highly recommended course for any seeing ability
