Prerequisite: Introduction to Cedar Bark Weaving
Haida master weaver Holly Churchill learned to weave cedar from her mother, Delores Churchill, and is devoted to the art and cultural traditions of her lineage. She is an expert weaver and instructor who has shared her knowledge with youth and adults for over twenty years in Southeast Alaska and beyond. Students will gain mastery in an array of essential cedar bark weaving methods as they create a plaited or twined cedar bark hat, depending on each student’s experience and abilities. Proper preparation of materials is an essential skill for all weavers. Students will need to process their cedar bark with instructor guidance.
