Online workshop to create weighted functional sculptures for relaxation, pain relief, inflammation relief and physical/mental stimulation. Participants are able to create their own versions of the artist's "LovingSUITS" sculptures at home with repurposed fabric, dry grains, essential oils and/or dried flowers/tea. During the workshop conversations are held around self-soothing, pressure points, heat vs cold and scents. (The home sculptures can be heated or put on the fridge). Participants receive a PDF guide for them to keep with all the information provided and ideas/shapes for them to try at home.

Materials:
- A piece of soft cotton or natural fiber cloth (it can be a sock, old shirts, old pillow case)
- Thread and needle
- Rice (around 1 cup or 2, depending on the size of your cloth)
- Scissors
- Natural aromatic herbs or Essential Oils\\[ Lavender, Incense, Rosemary, Sage\\] (You can use herbal tea in case you don't have access to oils - i.e. Chamomile, rose tea)
