Shuswap River Waterthreads Map
Borrow: A large eleven foot by seven foot six inch fabric hand embroidered and beaded map of the Shuswap River and its tributaries. Comes with a rack for the wall hanging if you’d like it to be freestanding.
Description: The Shuswap River Waterthreads Map was created by community members in 2024 who met along the Shuswap River Watershed in Lumby, Enderby, Mara, Ashton Creek, Armstrong/Spallumcheen, Silver Star and Sicamous to hand embroider a large map that was then completed by Marie Thomas, a Splatsin Elder, who, with the assistance of Teresa Christian, hand beaded the Shuswap River.
Pre-Requisites: Space to hang or display the map that’s 11’ x 7.6” in size.
Options: You can book an artist from Runaway Moon Theatre to come and give a mini workshop on the map, how it was made and the Shuswap River and its tributaries. The map can be shipped, delivered within the region or picked up at Runaway Moon Theatre. Send us an email (form below) to inquire and learn more!
