Join Red River Métis finger weaver Carole Kowcun to explore the basics of finger weaving, and to learn a bit about Métis culture. Finger woven sashes are one of the Métis people’s most recognizable cultural symbols. In this session, participants will learn the necessary steps to weave their own small bracelet! Finger weaving itself is a very basic, loom-less method of weaving found all over the world. Come and explore the uniquely ‘Canadian’ version of this mesmerizing craft. 

Carole is a self-taught Métis finger weaver originally from Manitoba. She is a proud citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation.
