Woodland Indian artists Greg Johnson, Jerry LaBarge, Wyona Jack, and others practice some of the rarest and beautiful art forms in our cultural garden and ones that appeal to people everywhere. This series of workshops, lead by local artists, will highlight both traditional art making techniques and provide an informative conversation on the cultural context of the Woodland style arts and crafts. Emphasis on traditional beadwork and moccasin design and construction, wood fish-decoy carving-a craft very specific to Native Lac du Flambeau artists, and the traditional art of birch bark basketry.
