Using cedar that was harvested and prepared by Jessica herself, participants will get to take home their own cedar basket creations.

Jessica is a self-taught weaver of Coast Salish and Portugese descent of the Silvey family in Egmont, BC: “Weave – to form by combining various elements or details into a connected whole. Many of my childhood hours were spent with my paternal grandmother in the forest. It is my favourite place to be, surrounded by cedar trees and silence. I have learned traditional techniques from research, as well as trial and error. I harvest and prepare my own materials. When I am ready to weave, the most time consuming work has been completed. Weaving is my passion and therapy for my soul.”
