Mega Workshop in Indigenous and International Craft Practices
On Saturday, March 7, 2015, MAWA invites you to celebrate International Women’s Day by learning traditional craft techniques from Indigenous and New Canadian master craftswomen. In this free, drop-in mega-workshop you can try your hand at Granite Engraving, Loom Beading, Decoupage and Quillwork. Meet people from around the world and around your community, while crafting and enjoying international snacks.
Hands-on Crafting Stations:
– Granite Engraving with Tetyana Demchuck from the Ukraine
– Loom Beading with Emily Taylor from the Fisher River Cree Nation
– Decoupage with Queti Azurin from the Philippines
– Quillwork with Shalana Yzicappi from the Standing Buffalo First Nation
This is MAWA’s 7th Annual Craftstravaganza – why does MAWA host this event and why should you participate? Because it’s fun! It promotes cross-cultural learning, keeps traditional craft techniques alive, and provides employment opportunities for Indigenous and New Canadian women.
