Creative Hair Art

Amber Muhammad & Idris Muhammad

Friday, 7 pm @ The Pavilion & Saturday, 11 am @ The Pavilion

This workshop will be an exploration of hair art techniques using yarn, synthetic hair, nature elements and mixed media, in which Amber will provide. We will be braiding, twisting, and cultivating magical hair masterpieces and dream hair for all ages to enjoy at the festival. 

The crown is the most sacred part of the body and through the ancient art of crown adornment, we honor our inner beauty and divinity. We begin the art of crown adornment by connecting with our own creative energy, offering vibrational healing and using aromatherapy oils to raise the vibrations within ourselves and our partners. Once that connection is made our creative juices can flow and our hair fantasies come alive.
