Create Your Own Hand-Made Moccasins with Jamie Gentry DesignsApril 25th 2026
10am - 5pm
hosted at Little Wildflowers!
962 Shoppers Row, Downtown Campbell River
You will create a pair of homemade moccasins (yours to keep) with moose gold tan hide (your choice of either with or without fringe). Tea and local coffee provided. This is a perfect way to hear, listen and learn from Authentic Indigenous Artists and understand the most intention and care that’s goes into each pair.
From the Artist:
My name is Jamie and I am from the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation. I was fortunate to grow up immersed in culture and surrounded by talented artists. My whole life I was drawn to the arts, music, dance, drawing, painting, but I was particularly drawn to working with my hands, whether it was sewing, beading or weaving.
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to make moccasins. However it wasn’t until we moved to Sooke, that I was able to find a teacher and from that day forward I have not stopped.
My goal is to create meaningful connections through moccasins making. When we connect with the maker and the product, we are more likely to hold that product closer to us, and it is less likely for that product to end up in a landfill. I hope to contribute a meaningful product to the world, build connections and share culture.
Each pair of moccasins is custom made. I do not cut into my hides until I know who the moccasins are for. This way I can put thoughtful, specific intentions into each pair, for every individual.
I make traditional, custom made moccasins for modern day living. My focus is on style, comfort and durability with an emphasis on sustainability. Each pair is cut, beaded, sewn, carved by hand and infused with love making each pair unique.
