LES MAINS GUIDEES WORKSHOP -- WAX FLOWER WREATHS
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4

As part of its mission for the preservation of traditional trades and folkcrafts, Vermilionville continues to host monthly workshops allowing our community to learn a craft from the Acadian, Creole and Native American traditions. Topics range from woodcarving to foodways (and many things in between).

For the November Les Mains Guidées, Ivy Lemieux - one of our highly experienced craft artisans - will share the methods used for designing and building a wax flower couronne, traditionally used for the decorating of graves for All Saints Day.

Guests will learn to form the delicate flowers from paper and wire, how to dip them to preserve the shape, and how to bring these together to form the traditional wreath.

During this workshop, Ivy will also share with participants some of the other elements of mourning and All Saints traditions in history. To register and purchase tickets, CLICK HERE.
