RiverCulture, the creative economy program of Montague, invites you to a unique hands-on workshop led by biologist and artist Elizabeth James-Perry (Wampanoag) on Saturday, May 30 from 10am to 3pm at the Unity Park Riverfront (First Street) in Turners Falls. A 2023 NEA Heritage Fellow from Aquinnah, Martha’s Vineyard, Elizabeth will share her deep knowledge of coastal ecology and tribal heritage to this drop-in style workshop. Working with natural materials including seaweed, chlorophyll, oak gall, black walnut and logwood, participants will dye a piece of cotton fabric according to traditional Wampanoag practices. Participants will also have an opportunity to experiment with traditional fish printing and leave with their unique, handcrafted creation. All materials are provided and participation is free. This event is covered, and scheduled rain or shine.
ReCloaking:ReCircling with Elizabeth James-Perry is proudly funded by the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA), the Montague Cultural Council, RiverCulture, and Arts Connect International with support from the Nolumbeka Project and Liyang Western Mass.
