Learn the traditional techniques of Salish Wool Weaving!

Option 1: Use table looms – depending on how fast participants catch on to the technique they will be able to create a bookmarker or wrist band (15 person max).

Option 2: Use a cardboard template – with this option participants create coin pouches and have the ability to take the weaving home to finish if they do not complete.

Included: All guests will meet the Cultural Ambassador at the top of the hour and hear a welcome song, then watch a short film and take a brief guided tour of the museum. Materials to create the craft are included, along with admission to the exhibits, and 10% off in the gift shop.
