Have you ever wondered what it takes to make moccasins? Do you want to have your own customized moccasins that you put together yourself? If so then make sure to join us for the kickoff of Rock Your Mocs week at a moccasin making workshop with Haudenosaunee artisan Susan Hill.
In the space of 4 hours, using cut-to-measure pieces of buffalo and moose hide (hides will be either black, brown or tan, depending on availability) Susan will walk you through the process of piecing and sewing your moccasins together. Make a pair for yourself, or for someone you care about (what a GREAT Christmas gift these would make!).
When you register, please be sure to indicate your shoe size so the moccasin components can be pre-cut to size.
Indigenous members of the community will receive a discounted workshop fee by using the code: Mocs50
Reservations are required as space is limited.
In order for Susan to prepare materials for the workshop, REGISTRATION CLOSES ON OCTOBER 27TH!
Be sure to not miss out and reserve your spot today!
