Shrouds for Natural and Traditional Burials

Day: 16 October 2025

Upcoming workshop using creativity to ease up conversations about death, legacy and remembrance at St Catherine’s Hospice,

In this nurturing workshop, you’ll craft a remembrance talisman – a personal object that serves as both keepsake and emotional anchor. Blending the protective resonance of traditional talismans with the act of memorialising someone significant, your talisman will become an object of memory and remembrance.

This workshop is reflective, hands-on, and held in a safe, supportive space to talk about death, process grief, celebrate life, and keep stories alive.

Materials are provided. We also invite you to bring photographs or small objects (jewellry, trinkets etc), including fabrics, that resonate with the person you wish to remember. We will send further details once signed up

Part of Luna Art’s R&D project generously funded by Arts Council England.

Winner-Good Funeral Awards 2025!

I am honoured to receive a Winner Award from the Association of Green Funerals Directors (AGFD) for Best Coffin Supplier of the Year.

For me, this is not just personal- it is a validation of burial shrouds as meaningful, environmentally friendly ans spiritually rich alternatives to coffins. I came to to shroud making ans soft cloth covers combined with willow stretchers (so sort of coffins) after many years as a fine artists and lecturer, bringing with me a love of stroy-telling through reclaimed materials, ritual and beauty. I am blown away by the sense of purpose this practice has given me. This award feels like a step forward not only for me , but for all shroud makers, here in the UK and worldwide who are keeping this practice alive.
