Cherokee Basket Weaving

Registration & Payment:

I need pre-registration numbers to plan around, so please register and either pay thru Eventbrite, or select a "Free" ticket, and pay in person.

This is not a series. All classes are standalone, and you will leave with at least one completed basket!

Salix:

Hensci, Salix cvhocefkvtos! Hello, my name is Salix!

I am Muscogee/Cherokee, and white. I'm a queer 'two spirit' artist, and not an Elder, but totally an 'elder millennial' lol. I moved to Cheyenne/Arapaho/Ute country (Denver) Aug. 2022 from Kiowa territory and the homelands of many nations, Norman, OK.

I learned how to do Cherokee-style basket weaving in Norman in 2017 from Kathy Haney (Seminole, Muscogee, Shawnee, Delaware, Kickapoo), and I'd really love to share it with you. Weaving is one of my favorite ways to be mindful and centered in community.

I have a BFA in Studio Art from the University of OK, an MSW from the University of Pittsburgh, and I'm currently attending Iliff School of Theology.
