Saturday March 15th, at Bow River Woods, the FVWG hosts a day long demonstration with international artisan Molly Winton.
“Since childhood 
I have always had an interest in Native American cultures, lore, and artwork. I have also been fascinated by prehistoric cave drawings and petroglyphs. These interests have served to be an inspiration for my artistic interpretations.” [Molly Winton]
