Dreamcatcher Workshop with Bougie Birch

Join us in the NAC’s Atelier Shenkman Smith for Bougie Birch‘s Dreamcatcher Workshop. Under the guidance of Indigenous artist and educator, Ashley Clark, craft your own dreamcatcher in a 2-3 hour session. We supply the materials; you bring the inspiration.

Dive into Indigenous artistry, learn about the resilience of Indigenous communities throughout history, and be part of a hands-on experience that bridges cultures. With Bougie Birch, it’s more than a craft – it’s a journey into heritage. Come, connect, and create.

This workshop takes place at 1 Elgin St, in the National Arts Centre’s Atelier Shenkman Smith which is located across from the Box Office.
