SUMMARY:Les Mains Guidées: Wax Flower Couronne
DESCRIPTION: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).\n\nFor the October Les Mains Guidées\, Ivy Broussard – 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 some of the other elements of mourning and All Saints traditions in history.\n\nYou can register below and purchase tickets for $30\, all needed materials and supplies included!

SUMMARY:Les Mains Guidées:  Native American Finger Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Bayou Vermilion District and Vermilionville hosts a monthly workshop series that allows you to learn crafts from our master artisans. At the beginning of each month we highlight a different craft from the old Acadian\, Creole\, and Native American ways of life.  Topics range from woodworking\, to textiles\, to foodways\, and many things in between. Even if you’d simply like to come and watch the class as an observer only\, not taking a direct part in the workshop\, we’ve got a spot for you!  Reserve your spot now. \nDuring June’s workshop\, you will learn and work alongside Neka Mire of the Chitimacha tribe. Neka has worked at Vermilionville as a tour guide and interpreted the Native American way of life for our visitors\, sharing both fingerweaving and Chitimacha basketry. During the class\, she will talk about the history and tradition of finger-weaving as she guides you in creating your own works of art.\n\nSpots are reserved on a first come\, first serve basis. This class is limited to 12 participants. Cost is $25 per person to cover materials\, all of which participants can take home to continue their craft at the close of the session. Participants must be at least 12 years old; children must be accompanied by an adult.\n\nFor more information\, please email: VVille@BayouVermilionDistrict.org\, or call 337-233-4077\, x211.
