Moccasin Making with Stephanie Tenasco
Stephanie Tenasco has created a 3-part moccasin making workshop as a resource for Sewcase member! We are huge fans of Stephanie’s work and are so grateful to learn from her.
"I am an Algonquin artist from Kitigan Zibi, Quebec. Having grown up in my community, I had the opportunity to learn and now pass down my knowledge of traditional art. Mi iyo nī mino-pimadjiwowin – this is my good path, this is my culture”
"The focus of my artistic practice is passing down the Indigenous knowledge of beadwork and leatherwork to the next generation."
"I am very thankful; I had the opportunity to learn moccasin making and beading techniques as a child growing up in my community of Kitigan Zibi. Gaining this knowledge from my community elders has led me to bigger opportunities. Most of the people who taught me are no longer with us, so I feel a great passing on of what I have learned."
