Indigenous Arts: Porcupine Quill Earrings

Have you ever wondered how to make porcupine quill earrings? Here is your chance! In this workshop, Melanie will walk you through the process of making the earrings step-by-step. Throughout the workshop she will be sharing tidbits of Haudenosaunee thinking and some history on beadwork and Indigenous wearable art. At the end of the class you will have a pair of your very own porcupine quill earrings. This experience is suitable for both adults/seniors and children with guidance.
