Carving Your Clan with Jeffrey Tibbetts, March 18-28, 2025

The Arrowhead Library System (ALS) is pleased to announce Carving Your Clan, an art and culture program with Minnesota artist and Ojibwe educator Jeffrey Tibbetts. These free workshops will be at select libraries March 18 – 28, 2025. 

This art experience will be presented by Jeffrey Tibbetts M.Ed., enrolled member of the Fond du Lac (Nagaajiwanaang) Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and current Program Director at the Fond du Lac Tribal & Community College. This special workshop blends ceremony, culture and art to deliver a unique hands-on experience. During this three-hour class, participants will carve a physical representation of their choosing from stone, while developing an understanding of the Ojibwe world view. 

Jeffrey Tibbett’s cultural values are at the forefront of his workshop. He writes: “I create a space of cultural sharing and celebration into all the places I have presented at. This I do to not only share my Ojibwe culture but also to help bring each participant’s gift of creativity to the surface.”

This program is meant for those age 10 and up. Adult supervision will be required for younger attendees as sharp objects will be used to carve. Interested attendees should contact or visit their local library for workshop details, as space and supplies for these workshops are limited.
