Materials &amp; tools provided.Location: IPSO FACTO517 N. Harbor Blvd. Fullerton CA 92832Please note there are maximum 10 prepaid attendees due to the limited availability of tools and materials on hand for this project.Inspiration: The dream catcher is a culturally significant symbol of the Chippewa/Ojibwe/Ojibwa Native American people, constructed by parents for sleeping children to allow good dreams to slip through the web and into the sleeper at night, while bad dreams are caught in the web and disappear by morning light. Sometimes they were attached to a healer's staff in a dream controlled ritual or given as gifts signifying a wish for retaining life's blessings. The hoop signifies continuity and the endless balance of creation and life. The web signifies interconnected thoughts and actions and how they are woven into dreams, caught on the web, while hanging feathers carry prayers and offerings.Colors: White represents meditation, relaxation, order, purity; red is for stimulation, passion, energy, love; yellow signifies vital energy, intellect, wisdom, happiness; blue signifies strength, success, determination; green is for peace and nature; orange signifies stability and comfort; brown represents earth and calm; black balances energy and gives a yin yang effect when combined with white. We understand there might be a concern about appropriation, which is defined by Webster's as doing something without respect or understanding of the culture it is derived from. It’s not disrespectful for one to recognize beauty (and function) in a specific culture's practices, and be influenced by it, as long as you do it with an understanding of the culture and it is done with respect. Similar to the Christmas spider December project we are offering, which is based on a Ukrainian folk practice, we plan to make something for ourselves, (not buy mass produced items), in an expression of creativity. Art, music, and cuisine would be much more barren without cross-cultural influence. When we draw our inspiration from world culture it expands the appreciation and respect for all cultures. However everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we respect that as well.
