Basket Weaving Workshop

The Josephy Center is hosting a Weaving workshop on  Saturday May 24 from 10-4, Michael Ray Johnson will be teaching  Corn-husk Weaving, or also known as traditional cornhusk twining and false embroidery. 
Michael is from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indians and creates traditional cornhusk hats, baskets, and purses which are used in ceremony namings, food gatherings and and traditional dancing ceremonies.  He has learned the weaving traditions from various elders who have inspired Michael to create and pass on the weaving tradition to all to carry on these traditions to the Native American Community. The cost of the class is $75 with supplies included and  lunch.
 
At 5, Michael Ray will have a free weaving demonstration for the public at the Josephy Center.  If you are unable to take the workshop, come and see the amazing craftsmanship that goes into creating weavings.
