Canvas Club hosts Dream Catcher night
Dream catchers were traditionally used as talismans to protect sleeping people, usually children, from bad dreams and nightmares.
Saturday, 6 July saw a group of 22 ladies getting together at Piza é Vino in Eagles Landing Shopping Centre for an evening of creativity organised by the Canvas Club, Weltevreden Park.
Wendy Phillips, the Weltevreden Park branch owner, said, “Getting an evening away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life of kids and husbands are moments that are few and far between.”
Canvas Club hosted the group of women of all ages, and provided an opportunity to have an evening of good clean (most of the time) fun, with activities ranging from macramé to making dreamcatchers – which was on the agenda on the evening.
Dreamcatchers were traditionally used as talismans to protect sleeping people, usually children, from bad dreams and nightmares.
Good dreams pass through and gently slide down the feathers to comfort the sleeper below.
Some of the women opted for bright and colourful creations, while others stuck to a plain and simple colour scheme.
Wendy commented, “I love to see such a diverse group of women coming together to create. It takes them away from their everyday life and allows them to take out their daily frustrations in a very open setting.”
Canvas Club offers monthly arts and crafts evenings in the area and interested members of the community are advised to keep a lookout on social media for the next one.
Canvas Club was founded in 2018 by sisters, Christelle Janse van Rensburg and Stefanie de Wet, and has grown rapidly to over 50 locations across South Africa, Namibia and New Zealand.
