Wisdom, Weaving, Songs, and Legends.
In this presentation Harvest Moon brings together her two loves: traditional basket weaving and storytelling. As her fingers transform natural materials into a beautiful basket, she sings Coastal Salish songs that transport a weaver into what is called the “Basket World.” Much like her baskets, Ms. Moon’s stories are carefully woven with words that hold a sprinkle of wisdom. They are captivating and entertaining to people of all ages. (Audience: High school through adult.)
