Join artist Helen Pelletier, for a hands-on workshop introducing the foundational skills of birch bark etching. Helen will share more about her relationship with birch bark and her harvesting practices. Participants will have the opportunity to work with bark from Helen’s personal collection to learn how designs are etched using specialized tools. Her designs connect to storytelling, by drawing examples from her baskets, hats, and vests. This session is suitable for beginners.
