Ribbon Skirts - Pattern Drafting and Construction


Okanagan Indigenous Music and Arts Society is excited to offer this two day workshop led by Syilx Artist Krystal Withakay. Learners will receive the knowledge to construct a ribbon skirt on their own through the creation of a pattern block that is custom to their body and technical skills to ensure they pick the correct materials on their own. They will be able to teach someone their knowledge and learn about Syilx perspectives on wearing skirts, the origins, and some nation to nation differences or similarities
