This is where Dawna-Lea exhibits a few of the potentially million and one creative ideas that she has working through her head and hands at any one time. Right now, we are only showing her unique collection of painted gourd art containers and masks. But there's much more already created and in the works. - there's art pieces using birch bark, incredibly detailed beading on the warmest of warm hand-made mittens, rocks painted in the likeliness of animals you may know, and....well, you get the drift - just think...endless. We'll add these pieces in time.

Dawna-Lea is in demand every year to put on workshops in the Columbia Valley. She's worked with groups of all ages to help develop skills on such things as mocassin making, beading, walking sticks, and - well again, you get the drift.
