Workshop: Miniature Cradleboard Making with Preston Jacobs

Join Mohawk craftsman Preston Jacobs for a hands-on workshop exploring the art of cradleboard making. Sunday, July 20, 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

With over two decades of experience and a background as an instructor at the Kahnawake Survival School, Preston brings both expertise and enthusiasm to his teaching.
Participants will create a 12” x 4.5” miniature cradleboard (approximately 4/10 of actual size).

The workshop is tailored to different skill levels: beginners will assemble pre-cut pieces, paint, and carve, while more experienced participants will tackle advanced techniques like steam bending, tapering, shaping, and drilling before carving and painting their boards.

Cost: $145 members / $155 non-members (materials included)
