Krista Point
Vancouver, Canada

Krista Point is a member of the Musqueam Nation and is a Coast Salish weaver. She is inspired by the way her ancestors wove their blankets and the beautiful technique they had nearly a century ago. Point teaches at the Musqueam Adult Learning Centre where they learn to split, spin, and dye wool as well as weave.

Point's style of weaving and her designs have been greatly influenced by traditional Coast Salish designs (cedar baskets, books, weavings, etc.). She uses the old stories from First Nations people and incorporate them into her weavings. By taking the traditional designs from her culture, she transforms them into her own designs.
