MIXED MEDIA CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS

The Yellowknife Guild of Arts and Crafts offers a diverse range of classes and workshops in various mixed media disciplines.  Our core programs include weaving, knitting, felting, stained glass and silversmithing.  Classes and workshops in other disciplines, ranging from woodburning to soapmaking, are offered as permitted by interest and availability of instructors.

All mixed media classes and workshops are held in the mixed media studio on the second floor of the Guild building at 113 Kam Lake Road, Yellowknife, NT.

Registration for Winter 2024 mixed media classes and workshops is ongoing.  Mixed media classes and workshops started in mid-January 2024 and will continue through May 2024.  Offerings include silversmithing, stained glass, weaving, knitting, basketry and more!

    On the first evening of this workshop, we will meet at the Bristol Freighter Monument and carpool to a collecting site to gather the willow that we will later use to make several willow baskets.  Participants will be required to wrap their willow in plastic and store it outside to keep it fresh until the creating weekend.

    We will meet again over a weekend to create willow baskets. Participants will learn the basic stake and strand method of round willow basketmaking plus several of common willow weaves. A handle can be added if desired. Depending on the size of your baskets, you should be able to make two baskets. Participants should bring a sharp, locking knife, anvil pruners, an old towel and spray bottle.

    Instructor:  Cathie Harper

    Prerequisites:  No experience necessary.  Age 16 or older.  Participants who have previously taken a full weekend willow basketry class with this instructor may be able to complete more advanced projects.

    Cost:  $286
