In conjunction with the Nashoba Valley Weavers' Guild, we will host an evening presentation by Evelyn Vanderhoop, Haida weaver. Evelyn and her family carry on the long textile traditions of the Haida, a Northwest Coast people, with a particular interest in Raven's Tail Robes. She has spent several years researching this almost lost technique of weaving. Recently, she completed weaving a traditional robe for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
She will speak about the history of these robes and the processes involved in making them.
