On Dec. 10, more than 50 artists will participate in the Maine Indian Basketmakers Sale and Demonstration at the Hudson Museum on The University of Maine’s flagship campus. There will be storytelling and demonstrations. Children can make sweetgrass angels during their own workshop and drum with the Burnurwurbskek Singers. Wabanaki artists from other Native American communities will talk informally about how they create baskets, quill jewelry, wood carvings, birchbark, and bead work.
