 embroidery in this workshop inspired by artist Marie
 Watt’s artwork, Witness (Quamichan Potlach 1913)
, on display in the exhibition, <a href="https://www.whatcommuseum.org/exhibition/many-wests/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Many Wests: Artists Shape An American Idea</a>. To create
 Witness, Watt was inspired by a photograph of a
 potlach, embroidering the image onto a Hudson's
 Bay blanket. For our workshop, use images that
 inspire you! Bring your own photographs or use
 one of ours and transform them into a one-of-a-kind keepsake through needlepoint and beading.
