Hands-On Demonstration: Dugout Canoe Carving

Drop in to watch artist Pedro Zepeda carve a Seminole dugout canoe right before your eyes and assist him throughout the carving process. Pedro will demonstrate this art form in a recreated studio space filled with his tools, supplies, and examples of his pieces. During this intimate experience, he will answer your questions about the history and creation of Seminole dugout canoes. 

With support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
