Spinning
Spinning fibers to make thread and yarn is a skill practiced the world over, including right here! Both sides of Metis ancestry have a relationship with this skill at various times and Metis women across time have often practiced this skill. We will learn how to use a drop spindle to make yarn….from bison hair!
This is a 3 hour class that starts at 6pm MST.
There are no refunds on online classes, however, a recording will be available for you to watch afterwards.
Natalie Pepin
Taanishi! Dishinikawshon Natalie Pepin. I am a Metis woman in the Tawatinaw Valley in Alberta, Canada. I support indigenous people who are reclaiming their indigenous roots to connect with their culture through learning the traditional skills, arts, stories and teachings of our ancestors. I support indigenous people, who are severed from their traditions by legacy and trauma of colonization, who are discovering that their culture is beautiful. I teach indigenous arts workshops such as beading, moccasin making and brain tanning as a means of reconciliation and reconnection.
