Places logo, things to. doj) Calling all craftspeople: How would you like to sell your wares? Do you have a craft-type hobby or Doll-making for fun, and possibly profit --------- skill you think is sell-able — pottery, jewelry, ribbon shirt, wood knick- knacks, quilts, crochetted or knitted goodies? There’s a move afoot to organize such creative types to foster some cot tage industry on the Reservation, espe cially to benefit housebound people such as parents of small children. In volved with the effort are SKC, Missoula’s YWCA and “New Hori zons” , which is an organization for dis placed homemakers. Although the first organizational meeting took place last Thursday, a second one is set for this Friday (Oct. 16), beginning at 9 a.m., in the building trades center in Pablo. Some time soon, organizers hope, they’ll have an office or two, a place for craftspeople to gather and work, and maybe a system in place for cooperative buying of raw materials. For more information, contact Joyce Silverthome (675-4800), Reuben Mathias (call the JTPA office at 676-3500 and leave a message), or Frances Vanderburg in Arlee. A special five-day course on the con struction and designing of cloth dolls is taking place on Fridays at Salish Koote nai College in Pablo. The SKC fall-quarter schedule de scribes the course (which is related to the article at the left): “This is an interdisciplinary and ex ploratory course for students in the fol lowing disciplines: Native American Studies, Home Ec., and Business (Manufacturing and Marketing). The goals of the class are to produce an original Native American cloth doll and pattern designs for a wardrobe of Tribal outfits, and to investigate the marketing potential. “The class is designed to include basic knowledge of doll making and includes the thorough knowledge of the use of patterns and the differences in doll structures. The accompanying labora tory will include step-by-step construc tion of the dolls.. .The course may lead to production and marketing opportuni ties.” The role of dolls in human history will also be discussed. The class meets on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the building trades center. The instructor will be Kay Morken of Missoula. Three college credits will be awarded ($23.00 per credit is the cost). Some material will be provided. Although the first class has already been held (Oct. 8), SKC staff member Joyce Silverthome said people still have one more chance to sign up if they’ll show up at the Oct. 16 meeting. Call her at 675-4800. Workshop for elders “Healing Elders Through Nu trition” is the theme of a three- day workshop scheduled for Oc tober 21-23 at the Longhouse in St. Ignatius.
