Porcupine Quill Earrings

In this free workshop, Melanie Gray will teach participants how to make a pair of porcupine quill earrings while also offering education on the porcupine and how quills are harvested. Each workshop will incorporate Haudenosaunee teachings about our relationship with the natural world. Participants will go home with their own handcrafted porcupine quill earrings, and more knowledge of Haudenosaunee culture.
