Devils Club is native to the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest and is known for its powerful healing properties. After making your own sun oil tincture from the Devils Club and learning about its medicinal uses, you will then craft a sacred wooden bead from the bark. Devils Club beads are traditionally used as protection from evil spirits.

Cost of supplies for this workshop have been subsidised through the BC Arts Council Arts Impact grant.
