Across six months, for seven Saturdays between Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice, a small group will gather to learn traditional craft techniques, create beautiful objects by hand, and move together through a deeply intentional creative journey.

Each gathering builds upon the last- technically, symbolically, and relationally -allowing participants to gradually develop both practical skill and a deeper connection to their own creative voice.

Throughout the series, participants will work with materials such as vegetable-tanned leather, sacred adornment, symbolic forms, hand-tooling techniques, and traditional making processes. Each session centres around the creation of meaningful objects designed to be both beautiful and enduring.

Alongside the making itself, the series includes shared ritual elements woven gently throughout the journey:

Guided meditation
Song
Storytelling
Reflection
Guest offerings including practices such as drumming and sacred knowledge traditions.

The atmosphere of the space is intentional: Slow-paced, grounded, welcoming, and creatively nourishing.

This series is for people who feel drawn toward thoughtful making, symbolic craft, and the experience of creating with their hands in the company of other creative and open-hearted humans.

No prior experience is required. Only curiosity, care, and a willingness to participate fully in the journey.

Because each workshop forms part of a larger arc, participants are asked to commit to the full six-month series. Over time, the group itself becomes part of the container: A gathering of humans learning, creating, sharing meals, and growing alongside one another through the changing seasons.

Places are intentionally limited.

Participants will be contacted prior to the first gathering with preparation information and guidance to help them arrive ready for the journey ahead.

ABOUT TAMSIN

Tamsin is a designer, craftswoman, and facilitator whose work explores the meeting place between traditional handcraft, symbolic making, and the living intelligence of natural materials.

Originally trained in industrial design in both Melbourne and Scandinavia, her practice has evolved into a deeply hands-on approach centred around leatherwork, sacred adornment, geometry, ritual object-making, gemstone shaping, and slow craft processes. She also works with silver on a small scale, creating pieces that honour both material and meaning.

Before focusing fully on her current practice, Tamsin also worked as a lighting designer through her own small business — an experience that continues to inform her sensitivity to atmosphere, space, texture, and the emotional quality of environments.

Her work is known for its reverence for material, careful attention to form, and the creation of objects that feel both ancient and enduring. Rather than teaching craft as a purely technical exercise, Tamsin’s approach invites participants into a more connected and meaningful creative process: one that values presence, beauty, symbolism, patience, and the quiet satisfaction of making something real with one’s own hands.

Solstice to Solstice brings together many strands of her practice-design, ritual, storytelling, craftsmanship, creating beauty and community-into a shared six-month creative journey.
