Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coastal Art
On February 17, 2006 Northwest Community College announced the launch of the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art.
The first of its kind in the world, the School focuses on First Nations art of the Pacific Northwest with a mission to continue the legacy of Freda Diesing, a remarkable artist and teacher who helped revive Northwest Coast art and worked selflessly in passing on knowledge of the art form to others.
The School’s offerings include programs at the certificate, diploma and degree level and will include, carving, weaving, jewellery and print-making.
