About this Event
Driftwood Suncatchers: A Meditative Making Experience
Slow down, breathe, and create something that captures both light and calm. In this reflective, hands-on class, you’ll design a serene suncatcher using beads, fishing line, and a piece of natural driftwood. As you carefully string each bead, you’ll be invited to approach the process with intention—embracing the quiet rhythm of making as a form of meditation.
The act of selecting colors, spacing, and textures becomes an opportunity for contemplation—each element a small reflection of your inner landscape.
Your finished suncatcher will shimmer in the light, casting gentle reflections—perfect for hanging in a window, porch, or your own “secret garden.” Whether it becomes a daily reminder to pause or a peaceful accent in your personal sanctuary, this piece will carry the calm energy of its creation.
No experience needed—just a willingness to be present, create, and let the light in.
*Note: Due to working with donated and reclaimed materials:
Class projects may vary slightly from examples shown in our monthly calendar.
We embrace these variations as part of the magic and uniqueness of every session.
* Contemplative Classes are intentionally crafted with the ambience in mind.CONTEMPLATIVE CLASSES= Quiet & Meditative class environment. Some classes may either begin or end with a guided meditation or a short guided breath work exercise and will be an opportunity to quiet the mind & body and allow the creative process to reconnect you to yourself. A great opportunity to be amongst others while remaining within yourself. Connecting in quietness!
Classes at Thrifty Connections intended for adults and suitable for individuals 16+.
