WALL HANGING WOOL ALLISON B JOSEPH
Squamish Nation
Allison for the most part, is a self-taught wool weaver, with guidance from master weavers Chief Janice George and Buddy Joseph. Presently, she teaches the art of wool weaving to all interested, either at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre in Whistler or you can find her working and teaching in her community. She is eager to do commission pieces of any size; many of her weavings are found on display at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre. Allison’s general focus is on weaving pieces and donating them to her community. She does all her weaving in her spare time or as a learning tool for all guests to the SLCC. One of her best pupils is her aunt, Janet, she recalls at family camp one year she wanted to learn to weave a bag and has surpassed Allison in no time at all.
