Make your own dreamcatcher! This is an instructional workshop for beginners or anyone who wants to learn about dreamcatchers. In this course, we go over some of the history about how the Dreamcatcher came to be, what was used traditionally to make them, and one of the origin stories.

This Workshop is part of the “Honouring the Children” Exhibition & Workshops, organized by CIF Reconciliation Society, at Sparrow Artspace: https://www.sparrowartspace.com/september-2023

CIFRS thanks its funding partners: Calgary Arts Development and Sparrow Artspace!

Taught by Jona Sparvier:

I am a Sioux/Assiniboine from Whitebear First Nation. I am a mother of three girls and the founder of T & T Dreamcatchers, established in 2016. My journey began while healing from the loss of my father: Within the process of creating a web I found peace. I’ve been continuously creating ever since. My inspiration stems from daily life, finding beauty in various things and integrating that into my work. the dreamcatcher is rooted into my history as an Indigenous person. I love sharing the beauty of our culture. That is where our healing must begin and I feel this is one of the ways to contribute.
