Wa’paas basketweaving workshop with Chestina Dominguez

To honor Indigenous and traditional ways of healing, join us to practice and learn how to make a Wa’paas. You may bring your own materials and projects to work on. We have materials on hand as well.

This learning event is led by Chestina Dominguez, a Care Navigator with Yakama Nation Behavioral Health. Chestina uses contemporary materials to create baskets using the ancient techniques of her ancestors.

All ages and all levels welcome. Light refreshments will be served after the class.

There is no cost to participate. All participants receive complimentary admission to the museum on the day of the event.

The workshop takes place monthly. The final dates for 2024 at Maryhill Museum of Art are Saturday, October 19 and Saturday, November 9.
