Join us for a special FREE workshop on traditional Chamorro carving with Angela Paet, an experienced artisan

continuing her family’s legacy in carving bone, horn, hima, and other natural materials. Angela’s father, a carver of

over 15 years experience, passed down this cherished craft, making her a dedicated advocate for preserving

Chamorro cultural traditions.

● Workshop Topics:

Carving Basics

Basic Shapes in Chamorro Jewelry and Culture

Storytelling through Carving

● Everything you need to carve will be provided. If you have a current carving project or your own carving tools, feel free to bring them along! Angela will provide guidance and tips to help you progress.

● For children interested in exploring their creativity, there will be a special kids table where they can cut shapes and create their own Chamorro jewelry using paper and string. (All children must be supervised; please do not leave them unattended).

● We're looking forward to this workshop! Please dress appropriately for outdoor work, as we'll be handling materials that create dust.

Whether you’re eager to participate hands-on or prefer to observe and learn, all are welcome to join us in exploring

the artistry and significance of Chamorro carving. This workshop not only aims to educate but also to foster a deeper

connection to our rich Chamorro heritage.
