We are excited that Susan Pavel will be teaching Coast Salish Twining on January 20th & 21st, 2018. 

You will learn how to warp up a traditional loom and twine weave a small wall hanging or coin bag.  

She will share with you various oral teachings and traditions that her master teacher shared with her.  "One being, always teach the student who wants to learn."

Here is a link to her website.  We think you will find her video about her work fascinating.

Dr. Pavel will provide looms for the workshop as well as scissors, small crochet hook, and tapestry needles.  Students are welcome to bring their own scissors, small crochet hooks and tapestry needles.
