Getting ready for the upcoming Cedar Bark Plaited Hat class with Ts'msyen weaver Mangyepsa Gyipaayg (Kandi McGilton)? Join us for open craft time dedicated to preparing cedar bark.

The Totem Heritage Center will be open for extended hours so students and community members can work on splitting and stripping cedar bark for weaving. We’ll have jerry strippers available, and participants are welcome to bring their own cedar to prepare. While this time is especially helpful for students enrolled in the hat class, you do not need to be registered for the class to attend—anyone interested in working on cedar bark preparation is welcome to stop by.

Open Craft Hours:

March 26–27 | 1–8 pm
March 28 | 11 am–4 pm

There is no instructor for this Open Craft time.

&gt;&gt;Students in the hat class will need cedar bark prepared to 1/8" width (red cedar, or a mix of red and yellow cedar).

The Totem Heritage Center is also available for material preparation during regular public hours, Tuesday–Saturday, 1–5 pm.

Interested in the full class?
Cedar Bark Plaited Hats with Mangyepsa Gyipaayg (Kandi McGilton) is a 40-hour class open to students with previous cedar weaving experience or demonstrated skills.
