Free

Join the City of Abbotsford in celebrating Culture Days, 2023! Experience local arts, culture and heritage through fun, engaging, and thoughtful participatory activities and events held in the community.

Join Leonard Tiger Williams as he guides participants through traditional cedar cuff weaving.

Leonard Tiger Williams is a member of the Quatsino First Nation and is an accomplished, self-taught cedar bark artist of over twenty years. His artistry with cedar bark weaving is a result of many different perspectives from which he studies his subject. His work is also informed by his study of Quatsino ethnographic objects held in museums around the world. In learning their forms, styles, and weaving patterns, he repatriates lost knowledge for return to his people.

This activity is free with all materials provided for 40 participants. Registration is required and can be completed though the link provided. Produced in partnership with Heritage Abbotsford Society.
