“With every beat of my heart, my fingers dance and stir memories almost lost. Grandmother’s and Aunt’s whisper their knowledge to my soul  - encouraging, nourishing, nurturing. For their weaving is in me. With every warp and weft, they tell me so.”       

  

Jessica Casey



The Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives celebrates the traditions of the Coast Salish people with this 2.5 day weaving workshop, facilitated by Jessica Casey. You will learn the basic skills of weaving and over the course of the weekend, complete a wool shawl to take home. Ms. Casey is a self taught weaver of Coast Salish and Portuguese decent, born and raised in Egmont, B.C. 

The workshop starts on Friday evening where you will warp up the looms from 6pm to 9pm. Saturday and Sunday will be full days of weaving from 10am to 4pm. The cost of the workshop is $300 and includes all the supplies necessary to weave your shawl.
