Birch Bark Biting with special instructor Holly Yuzicapi
Saturday, February 14 at the Museum
Try your hand at birch bark biting techniques using transfer paper with special instructor Holly Yuzicapi, a contemporary artist using traditional methods. “Bark biting is an ephemeral and subtle art involving four of the five senses in the creation of a final product that is as delicate and as fleeting as a butterfly wing.” (from WIGWAS: Bark Biting by Angelique Merasty, Thunder Bay National Exhibition Centre and Centre for Indian Art, 1988, pg. 3)
Upcoming dates: March 14, April 11, May 9, and June 13
