Whetung Ojibwa Crafts and Art Gallery

 

Open House at Whetung Gallery

Whetung Gallery invites you to meet some featured artists, watch them work, and discuss their craft. Below are images taken at previous events. To see more of these artists' work, click on the links where provided.


Throughout the gallery, artists and craftspeople offered demonstrations on works-in-progress. Here traditional native designs are burned into gourds which are then dyed and glazed to bring out their natural patterns. For a closer look at these, check out our gifts page.
