Tickets: $21 (includes RAM admission and all materials) This workshop is free for Indigenous Peoples.

Do you have a pair of moccasins you no longer wear but keep for sentimental reasons? Preserving them with proper storage will allow you to carry the memory of not only the places they have been, but of the people who wore them. 

Join the Royal Alberta Museum’s Steward of Indigenous Collections, Coral Madge to learn some of the ways museums repair and prepare a pair of Moccasins for long term storage. Bring your own pair to prepare for a good retirement.
