About

Learn how to make a paper birch bark basket with Algonquin Artist Simon Brascoupé. Using a traditional birch bark basket pattern, learn how these baskets were used and the meaning behind the designs that adorn them. Print out the template and follow along with your own colouring materials, scissors, a stapler or tape and maybe some ribbon and a hole-punch.
