Jingle Cone Keychain Workshop Event Date: July 25, Aug. 1, 8, 22 & 29 Event Time: 12 pm - 4:30 pm Cost: $60 (plus fees) Ages: 16+ Have you ever heard the twinkling of the jingle dress and wanted to know how they’re made? The jingle cones behind the iconic sound have been made from repurposed and recycled materials since at least the 18th century. Historically used as decoration on clothing and jewelry, now they typically adorn beautiful jingle dresses at powwows.
In this workshop, Saulteaux-Métis artist Rey-J Horsefall and Métis artist Arlan LaVallee-Nairn will teach guests the historical and modern Indigenous use of jingle cones. Using metalsmithing and cold smithing techniques, Rey-J and Arlan will walk you through the hands-on process of cutting and shaping jingle cones to create a unique jingle cone keychain.
Workshop includes materials, instruction, and admission to The Confluence Cultural Centre.
