In September I conducted a workshop with the Fairbanks Arts Association and the Anchorage Museum in conjunction with the Dena’inaq’ Huch’ulyeshi exhibition that traveled to Fairbanks.  It was a one day workshop with great students and lots of learning.  

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
