Charms, pendants, horseshoes, glass balls and many other things were used to ward off bad luck and protect against evil in the past. In this workshop you will find out more about these items and have a go at making your own charm. Using air drying clay you will create your charm pendant and decorate it with natural materials which you will go outside and hunt for. Once complete you can take your charm pendant home at the end of the workshop to wear or display in your home to continue the traditional form of protection.
