We’re super excited to announce that the conference programme will include a workshop on caribou-hair tufting by talented northern artist Amanda Baton. Amanda lives in Somba K’e, Denendeh. She is a Sahtúot’ine Dene and German self-taught artist coming from a long line of creatives. She started her art journey as a beader, making beautiful beaded earrings and adding other materials more recently.
In the workshop we will learn to tuft with caribou hair by working on a pair of earrings. Amanda will provide all materials. For more on Amanda Baton’s work and bio see https://www.nwtarts.com/search/artists/amanda-baton . Prepare to be amazed!
Do we know what the cost of this workshop?
Wow, pretty cool. This is definitely a first for me.
Wow, very exciting. I didn’t realize I could be more excited about having the FAN conference in Yellowknife.
This sounds great! Looking forward to the full experience of Yellowknife!
