Had a fantastic workshop at the New York Organic Farmers Association children’s program.  We scraped fish skins made pouches and worked on stretching a four foot wide hexagonal moose hide drum.  I brought in examples of my fish skin pieces for them to see.  They were a great group of kids.

In May I conducted a salmon skin workshop at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington DC as part of the Arctic Spring Celebration.  It was a great experience working with so many amazing people.  We made pouches out of Chum Salmon skins from the Yukon River in Alaska.  http://www.mnh.si.edu/arctic/arcticspringfestival/scheduleofevents.html
