SOLD OUT—Coast Salish Cedar Basket Weaving with Jessica Silvey—online
Saturday December 12 | 10 am – 3:30 pm
Join master weaver Jessica Silvey for a one-day virtual cedar basket weaving workshop and learn about the cultural significance and traditional techniques of Coast Salish weaving.
Using cedar that was harvested and prepared by Jessica herself, participants will make their own cedar basket creations.
Jessica is a self-taught weaver of Coast Salish and Portuguese 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.”
All workshop materials will be mailed to participants in advance. All ages welcome, children under the age of 12 should be accompanied by an adult. No experience necessary. Very limited capacity; book early to avoid disappointment.
Cost:
General | $155
Senior / Student / Youth | $150
MOA Members / UBC Students, Staff, Faculty / Indigenous peoples | $145
