Creative Coastal Jewelry Design with Elizabeth James Perry

Join <a href="http://www.elizabethjamesperry.com/">Elizabeth James-Perry</a>, an Aquinnah Wampanoag Marine scientist and artist for a workshop incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Participants will first learn about the history of coastal environment of Wampanoag lands and the Native relationship to place. Then, make your own unique jewelry to take home with you! The presenter will teach various knotting, braiding and weaving techniques. Choose from a variety of local, naturally beach-polished shells from the Atlantic Ocean, glass beads, and other materials from the artist’s collection. All materials will be provided. This Community History program was generously supported by the Baxter Fund. About the artist: 2023 National Endowments for the Arts Heritage Awardee and Internationally known artist and educator Elizabeth James-Perry is enrolled with the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head -Aquinnah in Massachusetts. She creates heirloom quality adornment in wampum and textiles reflecting Algonquian diplomatic heritage. In cultivating many of the plants used in natural dyes at her home, her gardens serve to seed the suburbs with important Native species. The rest are wild harvested in a sustainable way. As a member of a Nation that has long lived on and harvested the sea, Elizabeth’s is a perspective that combines Algonquian traditional ecological knowledge, genealogy, art and science in her ways of relating to life on the North Atlantic.&nbsp; Elizabeth's work has been commissioned by several museums including Massachusetts Maritime Center, Rhode Island School of Design, Peabody Essex Museum, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Montclair Art Museum. The artist holds a degree in Marine Science from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and a certificate for Digital Tribal Stewardship from Washington State University.
