Totem Poles at Barnsdall Arts

Tlingit_totemPoleYou don’t want to miss this Sunday at Barnsdall Arts. Totem Poles! One of my favorite themes. Inspired by the creations of Native American tribes and First Peoples of the Pacific Northwest, we will cut, erect and paint totem poles with figures and symbols traditional and personal. Instead of felling and carving stately cedar trees, we’ll be constructing our totem poles from much humbler origins: paper towel rolls, toilet paper roles, paper plates, bottle caps, maybe some egg cartons, cardboard and masking tape. Decorate as you like.
