Come join us at the Skä•noñh Great Law of Peace Center for a Sweetgrass Bookmark Making Workshop with Mohawk weaver and basketmaker, Robin Lazore, and her granddaughter, Irae’a. Robin has been weaving baskets for over 40 years, learning this traditional artform from her Tota (Grandmother) and passing it down to her daughters and granddaughters. Robin and Irae’a will be using Black Ash splints and Sweetgrass that they, in large part, themselves harvested. In this workshop you will be learning basic weaving techniques using these materials.
One-hour sessions will be offered at 11:00am, 1:00pm, and 3:00pm
Registration required. $25 per kit – 1 kit makes 1 bookmark
If you or your group would like to make more than one bookmark, you must register for the number of kits needed.
Workshops are limited to 10 kits per session
