Hula Hoop Making & Decorating Workshop
When you arrive, enjoy complimentary refreshments while you check out our hula hoop collection, play, and learn a few moves. Fresh playlist provided!
Karla (artist, hula hoop coach and hoopsmith) will guide you to find the size you wish to make. Next we gather for a demo on the materials and methods used for Hula Hoop Making. You will construct a hoop that fits your body size. Then, decorate your creation with tape or other materials that increase weight, friction, and gorgeousness to enhance the hooping experience! We close with a dedication ceremony, infusing our sacred circles with an intention, special meaning, purpose, affimation, or word.
All ages welcome, but note: Hoop making may not be appropriate for everyone, as it requires the use of tools and safety gear. Hoop decorating requires manual dexterity and patience. We provide all the materials, tools, instruction + space to hoop.
