Cedar Weaving Workshop

This cedar weaving workshop, over four days, participants will work with both yellow cedar and red cedar bark, learning how to properly prepare, process, soften, split, and organize the materials before weaving begins.

Participants will explore three different methods for starting a cedar hat, allowing them to choose the approach that best suits their weaving style while building a strong foundation in weaving techniques. Instruction includes both two-strand twining and three-strand twining, with guidance provided throughout the weaving process as participants shape and complete their own cedar hat.

Meet Our Partners

In collaboration with multiple partners we have, over the last 12 years, designed and delivered programs to support the development of youth, educate the public about the true history of First Nation peoples in BC, hosted art workshops, and language revitalization programs.
