Possum Skin Story-telling

possum skin workshop.JPG
Learn the artistic tradition of creating a possum skin cloak with ‘Wrapped in Culture‘ artist Vicki West.

Inspired by the exhibition, Wrapped in Culture, you're invited to create a community possum skin cloak.
 
Join artist, Vicki West, at one or both workshops where you will pyrograph your story onto a diamond shaped possum patch. The patches will be sewn together to form a community cloak in time for NAIDOC week.
 
Possum skin cloaks are traditional to many Aboriginal families. Cloaks are often inscribed with personal and family stories.
 
This project celebrates Launceston culturally diverse communities and their stories.
 
Ticket price includes possum skin kit.
