A group of 10 individuals had the opportunity last weekend to participate in our first offered wing dress workshop since 2000.
Instructors Lonnie Alexander and Michelle Burke helped each of the participants learn how to create both an under dress and ceremonial wing dress.
We give the inter-generational award to the local Sheoships family. Grandmother, daughter, daughter-in-law and granddaughter each participated in the event to collaborate on a family dress. So we thank them and everyone else for taking part.
As with our other recent workshops, we received a tremendous amount of interest and unfortunately filled our 10-person capacity with several more people who wanted to sign up but were unable.
Therefore, we do hope to offer another wing dress workshop in the fall. Be sure to keep checking our workshop schedule.
