Mask Making Workshop
“Your finished Masks will show the inner beauty of all aspects of all aspects of your being.”
– Zelda Hotaling
This is a 3 day workshop, usually running:
- Friday, 6:00pm – 9:00pm
- Saturday, 9:00am – 5:00pm
- and Sunday, 9:00am – 1:00pm
Cost: $650.00 all materials included. $100.00 deposit non refundable.
See the Events Page to sign up for next workshop.
The mask making is about looking at your duality. To look at the teaching and the patterns that come from that side of your self. One of the most transformative and creative acts you can undertake, is to create a mask of your face.
We will be making 3 stages of different Masks:
- What we came in life with
- Where we are now
- The Great Mystery
On Friday I make the space into the energy of a sweat lodge (w/o heat) where we come into prayer as the cast mask gets formed to our face, we then take it off and then we pour plaster into the form of the mask and seals the energy of the form.
On Saturday we take clay and we build it onto the form of the mask, of the image that comes through us. After that we do some stretches, yoga and breath work. In the afternoon we then paper maché the clay part of the mask.
On Sunday we paint and decorate the paper maché mask.
So you walk away with the cast mask, plaster mask, paper maché. It is a beautiful transformational time to spent with ones self.

Rattle Making Workshops
This is a one day workshop, usually 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Cost – $200 (*extra charges for travel expenses/accommodations/meals)

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create and learn how to use a rattle. We will journey to find your Animal Totem and its fur or feathers for your rattle. You may choose from a wide variety of materials, including fur, bones, colored leather, hooves, dew claws, bells, hickory nuts, tin cones, and turtle shells (extra charges for rare materials, i.e. snake skin, etc.). Once you have chosen the materials for your rattle, we will journey to discover the vision of how the rattle wants to be made.
When all the rattles are completed, I will share with you how to use the rattle for your personal healing.
Please call 518-732-7440 or email pinetree444@msn.com for available dates, fees, and more information.
“Creating a special piece with Zelda’s guidance provides the opportunity for a personal experience of transformation and learning!”
~ Roberta Horsman
Drum Making Workshops
In this workshop, you will create a 16” drum and Drum Stick from start to finish. You may choose from buffalo, elk, or deer skin. You paint your rim, then choose the skin for your drum head. You will learn to intuitively select the section of the skin to cut for it. Includes 16″ drum, drum stick, drum bag, and the process of your healing through the journey in birthing your Drum.
Zelda will assist you in creating a drum in a unique way involving the healing of your inner child to release old beliefs which no longer serve you. This process will transform you and allow you to move forward on your spiritual journey. Let your kid come out and play! Release old patterns and beliefs in a safe and nurturing way so you can move forward in your life.
This experience will differ for each individual, depending upon what your needs are. It is important not to have preconceived notions, to be open like a child to your intuition and what Spirit has in store for you. Let it be a Surprise Gift!
This workshop recreates the safety of the womb. It allows you to rise up with your (Mother Earth) to recognize old beliefs you brought with you into this world, and how they no longer serve you. Discover how to bring in new beliefs that will support your inner transformation, and help you to reconstruct a new way of looking at life. Or, you can simply make a drum.
See the Events Page to sign up for next workshop.
