About

Learn this generationally transmitted art form from S'Klallam Tribal Elder Darlene Peters. Closely related to basketry, Raven's Tail is an intricate finger-weaving technique that creates a fabric using hand-spun wool and a simple loom.

You'll learn the fundamental skills of Raven's Tail by creating two woven panels from natural wool fiber, one plain and one with a design. The panels will then be sewn together to form a fringed pouch measuring approximately four inches wide by six inches long. You'll learn about the history of this art form, its revival, and how Raven's Tail holds numerous geometric pattern possibilities.
