Looking for a unique hands-on experience and a one-of-a-kind creation you can truly call your own?
Join us for the kickoff of "Rock Your Mocs" Week with a moccasin-making workshop led by our good friend, Haudenosaunee artisan, Susan Hill.
In this immersive 4-hour session, Susan will guide you step-by-step through the traditional process of assembling and hand-stitching your own custom moccasins using pre-cut pieces of buffalo and moose hide (hides will be either black, brown or tan, based on availability).
Craft a pair for yourself or make a meaningful gift for someone special!
Please be sure to include your shoe size when registering so your moccasin pieces can be pre-cut and ready for you.
Indigenous members of the community will be given priority registration until September 15 and will receive a 25% discount using the code "rockyourmocs".
Registration closes on October 25th to allow Susan time to prepare the customized kits.
