Beaded Corncob Virtual Workshop
Available Online Now
Even though our facility is closed, our staff is still passionate about fulfilling our mandate above.
The Corncob Keychain Workshop is one of our most popular Educational Craft Workshops that are offered to groups, schools and organizations when they tour our museum. It’s recommended for Grade 7 and up because of the sharp needle, but with an adult present we hope that many will be able to join us.
We hope to bring more Educational Workshops to you through our Zoom Classroom.
The Replay is available online.

Past Workshops:
Ribbon Shirt & Skirt Making
March 7 & 8, 2020

Ribbon Skirt/Shirt Making Workshop at the Woodland Cultural Centre.
By participating in this 2 day workshop you will be guided through a step by step process of making a ribbon skirt or a ribbon shirt using a sewing machine.
Indigenous people are a very progressive people, meaning we have been adapting different materials that have been made available to us over time. When Europeans came to Turtle Island they brought many things including woven fabrics. These fabrics were then used as trade materials between Europeans and Indigenous peoples which have had a huge influence on traditional Indigenous outfits. Today ribbon shirts and skirts are significant items in the Indigenous fashion world.
Facilitating the workshop will be Melanie Bomberry.
