Would you like to learn how to wrap rocks in person, in an idyllic location with alpacas, goats and a mini horse? I’ll be hosting an in-person rock wrapping workshop next month at Dragonfly Visions, a gorgeous 1840s stone farm house just outside of Perth, Ontario.
Join us for an afternoon of exploring how to wrap rocks. If you haven’t seen rock wrapping before, it’s the gentle art of wrapping small stones and rocks with decorative cord, sometimes with and sometimes without other embellishments like charms, found objects, old keys and rusty nails, sticks and other ephemera. It’s a meditative, forgiving craft that incorporates ideas from macrame, classic knotwork, basketry and other disciplines. It’s easy to learn and you can likely get started with items you already have on hand or are easily sourced inexpensively and often for free.
Workshop details
Where? Dragonfly Visions, in Drummond Centre outside of Perth, Ontario. The farm boasts many friendly, four-legged critters, so people with allergies should keep that in mind. There is plenty of parking available and there will be coffee and tea available as well as some treats to entice the alpacas, goats and therapy horses to interact. Directions will be shared when you register.
When? Saturday, January 24 2026, from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm.
How much? The cost is $50 per person and includes all the supplies you will need to wrap two rocks.
Can I bring my own rock? Sure, but not every rock is ideal for rock wrapping. We’ll talk about what makes a good rock for wrapping in the workshop, and how to work with challenging rocks.
