Pulp Sculpture and Mask-making

We had another great weekend of workshops a few days ago. George Couchie taught native mask-making techniques and introduced the participants to the "grandfather teachings". That was at the Westlake Gallery. Over at the Whitewater, Janet Stahl-Fraser led an enthusiastic groups of artists on a journey to create beautiful cattail pulp sculptures. It was a bit messy, but also lots of fun and perfect for the Northern Arts and Crafts Movement, as we learn together how to bring our art practices closer to nature.

Full Weekend of workshops!

George Couchie and Janet Stahle-Fraser will be leading workshops this weekend at the Westlake Gallery and Whitewater Gallery respectively. Janet's course on Pulp Sculpture will be "messy but great fun", she's asking participants to bring in tall grasses and bullrushes that will crushed into pulp and dried to form a sculpting material.
George will be using plaster of paris to make traditional Anishinabic masks and will be talking about native cultural awareness. The workshop will focus on First Nations cultural practices and connections with both the natural and spiritual worlds.

Leatherworking Workshop results in new booties for all!!

Amanda Bellefeuille is a really wonderful teacher who inspired a full compliment of students at this year's Northern Arts and Crafts Movement Leatherworking Workshop. Here's a photo from that event from August 14 and 15, 2015.
