When: October 17th 4:30-7:30

Where: CNYC

WORKSHOP: BIRCHBARK BASKET MAKING

Lyndon J Linklater is a traditional knowledge keeper and story teller. He is from the Thunderchild First Nation (Plains Cree) in Treaty #6 and has roots in Couchiching First Nation (Fort Francis, Ontario) in Treaty #3.

Presently, Lyndon shares work with the Remai Modern Arts Museum in Saskatoon as their Indigenous Relations Advisor providing advice to their Board and staff and delivering cultural programming to the public and works with many other organizations, institutions and agencies with their journey towards reconciliation.

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

It will be a beginner birchbark basket making workshop. I was taught how to work with birchbark by Ojibway Elders in Northwestern Ontario where I grew up. I used to work with an Elder who made birchbark canoes and baskets when I worked for a place in Thunder Bay, called “Old Fort William”.

FAM is excited to host @k8bitprints as our guest artist for the next two weeks!

Cate Francis (She/Her) is an artist and illustrator from Saskatoon. She has a BFA from the University of Saskatchewan and an MFA with a focus on printmaking from NASCAD University (Halifax). Her art practice is primarily focused on making prints and collaborative wheat paste murals that reflect on human relationships to ecology and the natural environment. Cate is passionate about screen printing and has been teaching this versatile method of printmaking to anyone willing to pick up a squeegee for over a decade. In addition to teaching printmaking workshops, she is a drawing instructor for the USCAD program at the University of Saskatchewan. She also screen prints posters and designs album artwork in addition to growing peppers and making and selling half decent hot sauce at the farmers market (for which she screen prints all of the labels and merch).
