Fall Food Festival (Carving Workshop With Michelle Sylliooy)

We are hoping to host a weeklong event centered around the Fishery Industry. We have applied to the Gord Downie Blanket Fund for the majority of our events. We just did a workshop with Michelle Sylliboy and thought it would be a great addition to our Fall Lineup. We are applying to you to cover the cost of a Bone Carving Workshop. Through the Blanket Fund, we applied to host a Fall Feast with traditonal cooking techniques, a Salmon Hide Workshop, Excursions on the Annie Tena Barge, and Nightly Eel Fishing. The addition of the Michelle Sylliboy Carving Workshop will be a tie in to our activities. Michelle is a well known Artist and has showcased her beautiful whale bone carvings. This has intrigued us, and although she will be teaching cow bone carving, she will be teaching a whale tail design to participants, in keeping with our Fishery Industry theme. She will share stories behind her whale carving display and also her previous experiences with her art shows throughout the world. It is our hope that community members will be enticed to continue this
craft.
