Finger weaving is a traditional art form used to create versatile woven pieces for voyaging / travelling and wear by First Nations communities and peoples in Canada.
Please join The Chapter House for an intro to Métis (Michif) finger weaving with S.A. Lawrence-Welch! Learn to make a basic pattern along with a little history and some really excellent joke telling! Whether you’re a beginner, an expert, or just curious about a new art form, this session will be welcoming and inclusive to all.
Come share (virtual) space, community and culture with us!
