Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives presents an opportunity to celebrate the traditions of the Coast Salish people with a three-day weaving workshop, facilitated by Jessica Casey.
The workshop runs from Friday, March 23, to Sunday, March 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. All materials are included in the $300 registration fee.
You will learn the basic skills of weaving and, over the course of the weekend, complete a wool shawl to take home.
Casey is a self-taught weaver of Coast Salish and Portuguese decent, born and raised in Egmont.
"With every beat of my heart, my fingers dance and stir memories almost lost. Grandmothers and aunts whisper their knowledge to my soul - encouraging, nourishing, nurturing. For their weaving is in me. With every warp and weft, they tell me so," said Casey.
To pre-register, contact the museum at 604-886-8232. Information is available at www.sunshinecoastmuseum.ca or on Facebook.
