About the event
Cara Loft will be facilitating the Ribbon Skirt Workshop with Crow Shield Lodge. She has been making Ribbon Skirts for the past 10 years and am excited to offer you the opportunity to make something for yourself. You will create a two (2) paneled ribbon skirt with simple ribbon design.
A selection of cloth and ribbon will be provided for to choose from with first come, first serve. Limited amount of sewing machines.
Number of participants is maximum of 12, priority for self identifying Indigenous folks.

She:kon! Hello! My name is Cara Loft and I am the Professor of Indigenous Determinants of Health at Humber College in Toronto, ON. I am a proud Mohawk (Kanienkehake) woman from Tyendinaga (Kehn: teke) First Nation who currently resides in Kitchener, On. I am a proud Indigenous hand drum carrier and traditional song keeper. I was born in London, ON and grew up in a small farming community called Ilderton, ON. I am also a dog mom to an English Cocker Spaniel named Chloe. In addition to my role as professor, I also facilitate community development through arts projects like singing, drumming, sewing, photography, and poetry. My interests are in examining musical cultural practices and their effect on wholistic well-being. Nia:wen! Thanks! Cara.
