Ojibwe Storytelling Through Art: Painting Animal RelativesOjibwe Storytelling Through Art: Painting Animal Relatives

Join us at the Ely Folk School for a class with visiting instructor and artist Sam Zimmerman that explores the intersection of Ojibwe storytelling with painting our animal neighbors of the Northwoods.

Participants will be presented with various examples of Sam’s work celebrating the various animal, bird, and fish relatives he has experienced. He will share his inspiration and stories continuing the Ojibwe tradition of storytelling through art in capturing their spirit in his pieces. Participants will have the opportunity to select from an inventory of animals, birds, or fish to paint during this class with step by step guidance.
