Weaving Workshop for Beginners
2018-09-18 12:00 - 14:00 | Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, 5011 Bernie Whitebear Way, Seattle, WA, 98199, United States
As an “Urban Indian,” I recognize some of the barriers that prevent many urban, displaced and/or unrecognized indigenous peoples from accessing our traditional weaving materials, and thus, can prevent us from weaving altogether. Awareness and removal of noxious weeds, when done properly, can not only help restore balance within our ecosystem, but some of these plant materials are incredibly safe and useful for weaving.
In this workshop for beginning weavers, we will discuss means to identify a handful of invasive species which are: 1) recommended for removal, 2) accessible in an urban setting, 3) safe to remove, and 4) easy to work with. With these materials, we will have an opportunity to practice a number of different weaving techniques, including those used to make roses, baskets, cordage, and headbands. Exact techniques will be decided on by participants. Instruction for multiple weaving techniques may be offered if time permits.
Feel free to bring in your own materials if you have something you prefer to use. All other tools and materials will be provided. Please prepare to walk about the grounds outside to practice identification of invasive species.
Facilitated by Stephanie Leon Riedl
