Fiber Friday at North House Folk School

Fiber Friday is a day of learning, community, creativity, and exploration! Join us at North House Folk School on February 17 for presentations from two local fiber artists, a webinar presented by fiber friends in Sweden, and Finding Our Stories with Featured Speaker Leon Ozawaagosh Valliere. All Fiber Friday speaker events are free and open to the public on the North House campus.

9:00am-1:00pm: Speaker Series 9:00am: Weaving Scottish Tartans with Mary MacDonald

10:30am: Passionate About Wool: Four Felters in Four Countries with Elise Kyllo

12:00pm: Stories from the Textile Program at Sätergläntan with Johanna Runbäck and Susana Ayton (webinar)

7:00pm: Featured Speaker: Finding Our Stories with Leon Ozawaagosh Valliere Through the eyes of Leon Ozawaagosh Valliere, craft is not simply about making things, but about leading us toward a better life. Craft can help us learn our history, both the beautiful parts and the painful parts. Ultimately, it can help us better understand our relationship with the rest of creation through using our hands to harvest, weave and create. Join Lac du Flambeau elder Ozawaagosh for a discussion of what it is to be a better human, including how his own Anishinaabe cultural and craft traditions shape his worldview. Yes, he'll talk about finger weaving too, but the real story here is about returning to and understanding the roots of a shared human experience. This is not a not-to-be missed evening.
