In celebration of the Junction Artist in Residence program, August 12-14 will see the village of Haines Junction transform into a buzzing hub for all ages. Held at the Daku Cultural Centre, both outside and in, this festival will bring together artists from across the Yukon Territory to showcase Yukon’s contributions to the world of fashion. Featuring in-depth workshops, hands-on experiences, engaging activities for kids, a bustling craft market, interpretive walks, and more, the Haines Junction Craft Workshop Weekend will display the talents of many and will inspire the creative minds of all those who take part.

Workshops:

Throughout the weekend, artists from across the territory will be offering in-depth workshops in their field. These varied workshops will both serve to introduce newcomers to the creation of unique fashion pieces, as well as to encourage the introduction of new mediums and boundary pushing for those already acquainted with certain fashion techniques. Our instructors have come to us from across the Territory with extensive backgrounds in both creating their own art, and instructing others. From Pattern Drafting and Origami to Creating your own Fabric to Porcupine Quill Work (and everything in between), each workshop challenges its students to discover new forms while also encouraging participants to embrace elements of the North in their unique fashion pieces.

Kids Activities:

With youth workshops ranging from First Nations Dancing to Children’s Costume Design, there is sure to be something fun happening for the young (or young at heart). Throughout all three days, there will be multiple workshops taking place that are designed just for kids! Our instructors all have an extensive background working with youth in the arts and are excited to share their skills and enthusiasm with a new generation. Introduce your children to a new skill and passion over the course of a wonderful day under the Northern sun.

Craft Market:

All weekend long, artists will be displaying their impeccable wares for all to see (and buy). Be sure to come by and check out some of the amazing pieces that artists have been creating right here in the Yukon! The craft market is also a wonderful opportunity to chat with participating artists and workshop instructors. Come be a part of our community, and see what we have to offer.
