We just conducted our first of several Mardi Gras Indian sewing workshops for neighborhood kids. Mardi Gras Indian chiefs are passing on the tradition of masking Indian to area children. We are developing more educational and public programs as I type, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, check out pics from our first weekend of sewing with the kids! It was a lot of fun!
