Shasta’s relationship with fiber wool extends back to her childhood in east Tennessee on a small farm with sheep where she was active in 4-H and will forever be the 1994 Tennessee Sheep and Wool Queen. Shasta lives in Golden, the traditional territory of the Secwépemc and Ktunaxa Nations, where her art practice intertwines mythos and witchcraft. Her work explores archetypes of the divine feminine/masculine, cyclical rhythms, healing, and connection to land and water.Parking & AccessibilityThe workshop will take place in the classroom in the Canmore Civic Centre, where the Canmore Museum is located.
