June 26 - June 28
$599
Friday, June 26, through Sunday, June 28; 9 am–4 pm each day.
Spend three days in Yosemite Valley learning traditional basket-weaving techniques with Dr. Julia Parker and her family.
Dr. Julia Parker has spent over 60 years working as a cultural demonstrator in Yosemite National Park, educating visitors from around the world about Native American history, stories, and traditions. Julia is a renowned basket-weaver — a skill she has passed on to others in her family and shared with countless people over decades, including through Conservancy workshops.
In this three-day workshop in Yosemite Valley, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from Julia and her daughter, Lucy, as they guide you through traditional Miwok-Paiute basket-weaving techniques and share stories that have lived on through generations. All weaving materials are provided, so you’ll be able to create and take home your own handmade basket. However, please bring the items listed on the suggested packing list.
