Register here Arrow
Time
12:00pm - 4:30pm
Location 358 Gordon St, Guelph, ON N1G 1Y1
Price $40

In honouring five generations of listening, watching and learning, Ojibway/Potawatomi artist Boshdayosgaykwe Pawis grew up in and around the gift of traditional quillwork, living and learning to continually work toward teaching this skill.

As the founder of G’zaagin Art Gallery, she resourcefully uses only natural materials and finds creative ways for people to experience natural products. Participants will learn about quillwork and use materials that have been harvested, cleaned, dried, and stored by G’zaagin Art Gallery throughout the year to make their own quillwork medallion. Come learn and listen to Pawis’ stories, filled with love and gratitude, as we learn to listen to our Earth Mother.

This workshop is best suited to participants aged 16 and older. All materials are provided; registration is required. AGG is covering the cost of materials for Indigenous participants, who can contact Nicole Neufeld directly at nneufeld@artgalleryofguelph.ca to register.
