Haida master weaver Evelyn Vanderhoop is an eminent instructor, researcher and artist of Ravenstail and Naaxiin. Learning both from mother Delores Churchill and Cheryl Samuel, she has shared the art traditions of her heritage to ensure its revival both through her daughters and students. Ravenstail is characterized by intricate geometric designs in striking black and white, creating some of the finest regalia for those of high status and great power. This ancient technique predates Naaxiin and builds upon techniques used in Northwest Coast-style basketry.  Projects will vary in size and scope and will be adapted to suit each student’s skill level and experience, or finish a current project.
