Indigenous Arts: Corn Husk Dolls

Discover the origin of the corn husk doll through traditional oral teachings. After these teachings each participant will be able to create their own corn husk doll. This will be done through step-by-step instructions and visual examples. Participants will be able to take away an understanding of this portion of Haudenosaunee tradition, and an interest to learn more. This experience is suitable for both adults/seniors and children with guidance. Please note, this workshop corresponds with harvest season and traditional times of creating such a piece.

Melanie Gray is an Indigenous Artist, Jeweler, and Art Therapist from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. She has a history of facilitating workshops with a variety of ages. Melanie is from the Mohawk Nation and a member of the wolf clan.
