Moccasin-Making Workshop with Haudenosaunee Artisan Susan Hill
About this Event
Join us as we wrap up “Rock Your Mocs” week with a fun and engaging moccasin-making workshop led by Haudenosaunee artisan Susan Hill. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with some new skills and your very own pair of handcrafted moccasins.
Over the course of the afternoon, Susan will guide participants step-by-step through the process of piecing and sewing their moccasins using pre-cut buffalo or moose hide (hides will be either black, brown, or tan, depending on the colour that Susan can source).
Create a pair for yourself, or make a meaningful gift for someone special. These would make a wonderful Christmas present!
NOTE: When you register, please be sure to indicate your shoe size in US sizes, and whether they are Men's, Women's or Children's, so the moccasin components can be pre-cut to size.
