Three Days to Forge a Singing Bowl

Meet and work with the elements of nature through the alchemy of a coppersmithing and forging process.

November 10, 2023

to November 12, 2023

Friday 10 to 18, Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 to 17:30

A three day non-residential workshop to experience the alchemical process of transformation through crafting a singing bowl .

You will be fully assisted and supported in working in a co-creative process of crafting metal to bring a unique fine frequency sounding instrument into form.: to scribe, cut, shape, fire and sink your own small singing bowl, made of copper, brass or bronze. To craft your own singing bowl is a fun and rich experience of immersion into an ancient process of forging, working closely with the elements and the tools whilst bringing a new consciousness to every moment.

At the end of the workshop you will not only have a beautiful, fine frequency sound companion and ally, you will have gone through an embodied experience of personal and alchemical change yourself. This workshop is an invitation to meet the wonder of alchemy as you engage in a truly co-creative process.

Please note that these workshops are limited to no more than 12 people.

It will be a joy to share these days with you!
