Wooden Feather Painting 🪶
July 22 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Oki!
Come join our circle for a peaceful and creative afternoon. We invite our Indigenous Elders and seniors to express themselves through art at our Wooden Feather Painting event. All seniors are warmly welcomed.
Feathers are sacred in our culture, symbolizing honour, strength, and connection. We will provide you with a wooden feather, ready for you to bring to life with your own story and spirit.
You can paint it with your favourite colours, patterns, or symbols that have meaning to you. No painting experience is needed at all! This is a time to relax, be creative, and enjoy good company. All supplies will be provided.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
