Botanical Silk Scarf Workshop with Melanie Monique Rose

Botanical Silk Scarf Workshop with Melanie Monique Rose
Free, drop-in program (Max 12 participants)
Saturday, August 2, 1pm
Goodwin House at Saskatchewan Landing

Join artist and visual storyteller Melanie Monique Rose to make our one-of-a-kind wearable artwork. Together we will learn bundle dye and eco-printing techniques to create our own bandana or scarf. Melanie will share her knowledge about native dye plants and natural dyeing. Learn more about Melanie's land based art practice, while creating and taking home your own colour story from the land!

Melanie Monique Rose is a Metis/Ukrainian visual artist from Regina, Saskatchewan Treaty 4 Territory, a citizen of the Metis Nation of Saskatchewan, and a long-time contributing member of Sâkêwêwak Artists’ Collective Inc. and board member. Rose’s work centres on kinship and relationships between the land, ourselves and each other. Through plants and flowers Rose invites transmissions of ancestral knowledge and teachings while also imagining and creating a de-colonial future through the lens of Metis worldviews.
This project is made possible through the SK Arts’ Artists in Communities grant and with support from Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park.
