In this workshop, create your own colourful flower pendant out of caribou hair! Join Métis artisan Janis Laboucane as she teaches the process of preparing the hair, how to cut and tuft and the historical and cultural significance of tufting to the Métis people. Materials are supplied and yours to take home if you don’t finish your pendant during the workshop. - Event Details
