Medicine Bag Creation

Medicine Bag Creation

Monday, 10 October 2026, 1:00pm-5:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge

In this workshop, you will make your own Medicine Bag/Bundle. It could be a simple tobacco or mugwort bag or you may like a small bag to wear around your neck or you may be thinking about something bigger. You may design it to hold special items that celebrate your life, honour your Totem animals or representations of energies you are working with – it’s all up to you!

Timing for this workshop will depend on the size bag you make – a small, very simple bag may only take a couple hours. Larger bags will take longer to make.

Sizes: Small medicine pouch such as a tobacco bag or for wearing around the neck. Medium size pouch 3 to 4 inches for wearing over the shoulder or hanging off a belt. Large bags 8-9 inches.

Available Leather: Deer skin in tan, white or black; Cow hide. I also have a small amount of American Buffalo or Moose hide (first come, first serve basis). If you prefer a small bag in brighter colours, there is lamb skin in various colours.

Cost:  £10-£40 depending on the leather and size

What to bring: Sharp crafting scissors, packed lunch to share.
