Baby Moccasins — Create Your Own Infant/Toddler Moccasins
$95.00
Join us for a hands-on workshop where tradition meets creativity.
In this 4 hour session, you’ll craft a pair of soft-soled baby moccasins from genuine moose or deer hide, guided step-by-step through the process from start to finish.
This workshop includes all materials needed to complete your project:
Pre-cut moose or deer hide (infant/toddler sizes)
Fleece or felt liner (optional for added warmth)
Artificial sinew and leather needle
Rabbit fur trim
Pencil/chalk for marking
The session will begin with a smudge and introduction, creating space for reflection and connection before diving into your project.
We’ll take a short refreshment break midway through, with Dirty Sodas available and included in the cost of the workshop.
Please Note:
To ensure your moccasin pieces are pre-cut to the correct size, participants will be asked to confirm their infant/toddler shoe size prior to the workshop.
