Embark on a creative journey with Leonard "Tiger" Williams, a distinguished member of the Quatsino First Nation who has dedicated over 20 years to perfecting the art of cedar bark weaving. You will weave your own eco-friendly basket while learning traditional knowledge about the connection between water and cedar.
Leonard's deep connection to nature and ancestral roots paved the way for his artistic journey.
