Octopus Bag Workshop #1
Learn to make your first Octopus Bag with Natalie Pepin! The octopus or fire bag is a Métis cultural item that has a lot of historical significance!
Join us in this two-part, intensive workshop to learn more about the importance of the octopus bag and how to make your own!
This workshop will happen in TWO parts, each taught by Natalie Pepin. The second will be scheduled for JANUARY, as there will be self-directed work needed in between.
Please Note: Beading experience with flat stitch is required. This workshop is limited to 17+ to ensure that participants have the time and commitment to finish the project.
