Join us every week for a drop-in beading session. You'll have the opportunity to learn from talented instructors, get inspired, and connect with fellow beaders. Supplies and refreshments provided.
The program will take place in the Community Commons on the main floor of Central library.
Instructors will each lead five sessions and will teach one or two projects throughout these sessions. Participants are welcome to bring their own unfinished projects and work alongside the beading circle or ask for guidance and assistance from the instructor.
November 9-December7: Two-Needle Stitch Poinsettia Flower Tree Ornament with Métis beadwork artist, Jessica Parr
Presenter information: Jessica Parr is a self-taught bead work artist of Michif and settler descent. She is influenced by traditional Métis style beadwork, and contemporary Métis and First Nations beadwork artists. Jessica is an elementary school teacher of fourteen years.
