Join Spelexilh, Anjeanette Dawson of the S7wx7wú7mesh Nation, for a two-session, beginner-friendly workshop in wool weaving. Create your own piece while learning loom-weaving basics, the history and revival of Squamish wool weaving, and cultural teachings connected to the practice. All materials provided; no experience necessary.

You will have ample time in the first two-hour session to set up your loom and learn basic weaving techniques. Anjeanette will demonstrate twining and other techniques she uses to create shawls, blankets, sashes, headbands, and belts. Your loom and woven piece will be securely stored between sessions for finishing at the second session.

Saturdays, September 12 and 19
1–4 p.m.
Location: Music Box, 1564 Argyle Avenue, Harmony Room

Supported by a West Vancouver Foundation Community Grant.
