Britannia Elders Arts
In Fall 2016, the Britannia group began a new project with Haida weaver Todd Devries.
Thursdays at Britannia Todd shares his weaving practice with a group of Elders and seniors learning to make cedar hats. “Everything we need to know about weaving, we learn from the spider,” Todd says. “You start with 4 warps or strands (the spider’s legs) and weave in a weft strand or weaver, and form the Haida cross, and then weave around the legs of the spider, as a spider would when spinning its own web. Around and around.”
Currently offered online. For information about the participant waitlist, please contact Anne Cowan.
