This will be the first of a series of workshops through which participants will learn how to create three horse regalia items: a martingale (or breast collar), trappings and a bridal. The purpose is to provide instruction on how to construct traditional horse regalia, as well as to provide an opportunity for community members to repair older trappings.
Instructors John and Katie Bevis will teach a series of Wednesday evening workshops, twice a month, every other month, beginning Jan. 13. All classes will be three hours, from 6-9 p.m. Additionally, Crow’s Shadow will feature an open studio every Wednesday from 6-8 p.m. for participants to come and work on their regalia.
Crow’s Shadow will be able to provide basic supplies, including needles, thread, wax, canvas, wool, a limited selection of beads and refreshments. Participants are in charge of bringing their own scissors, tape measures and pins. Also, Crow’s Shadow has limited access to sewing machines and asks participants to bring their own if they have one.
