Cherokee Basket Weaving

Registration & Payment:

I need pre-registration numbers to plan around, so please register and pay thru Eventbrite. Please contact me if you want to pay in cash, because I've given options where people don't have to pay in advance, and almost every time, people who don't pay in advance don't come to the class.

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

Location & Parking:

100 Carr St., Lakewood, CO 80226
Lakewood UCC is a progressive church with inclusive Pride flags and Black Lives Matter Signs, and I'm the only one using the building Friday nights. They're attached to a school on the East side of the building, so park on the West side of the building, and the front entrance is facing the street on the South side.

Prices:

Classes are $25 for adults, $15 for youth under 13 accompanied by an adult, all materials included, but don't let price keep you from attending, pay what you can!

$10 for NDN relatives and trans/2S fam!

Age:

Youth 13 & under are welcome with an adult for $15 extra per child.

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 Oklahoma round reeed Cherokee 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.
