For whom
Everyone welcome.
Content
A workshop about a very special plant with an ancient history. Is it a tree or a shrub? Have you ever smelled and tasted the flowers? We will take a closer look, use all our senses to get to know this plant better and finally make something beautiful with the wood: an amulet is a traditional object made from elder wood, which was held in high regard by our ancestors as a protective plant. Or a blowpipe, but beads for a natural bracelet or necklace are also possible, or... an elder flute!
Teacher Annet Breure naturally tells beautiful folk stories about the elderberry that illustrate its useful and symbolic role in our culture.
Teacher
Annet Breure is an Arabist and Plant Storyteller.
Her first job was at the historical theme park Archeon. She learned a lot about the practical use of plants, which knowledge and experience she uses in her workshops, such as twining nettles, fibers or tree bark.
'I love poring over books and during my training as an Arabist I learned to do critical source research. Both the smell of yellowed pages and withered leaves in the forest make my heart beat faster!
Plants inspire people in art and popular culture: of course, because we live together on this planet. It is interesting how their healing effect is intertwined with, for example, spirituality. So I have a broad approach in my plant stories. I choose stories that can inspire and broaden our view of the world.'
