2019 Classes and Events
Winter Count February 10-16
Winter Count is a primitive skills gathering that has been taking place every February in the stunning Sonoran desert of southern Arizona since 1995. Founded by Dave and Paula Wescott, Winter Count (along with its sister gathering, Rabbitstick) is one of the preeminent gatherings of its kind. Instructors and students spend one week together sharing their enthusiasm and knowledge of skills such as fire making, archery, basketry, hide tanning, pottery, flintknapping, and much more. Winter Count is known for the high quality of its instructors and small class sizes.
My offerings will include: Buckskin 101- a hands on, full day class that gives a solid foundation in general buckskin sewing techniques through making a small sampler bag; Buckskin Clothing discussion and demonstration, and 1 on 1 Clothing Consultations. Sign up with me
