LA MAISON DES ARTISTES VISUELS FRANCOPHONES

Beaded Pin Workshop part 1

Led by Prairie Owl Beads, a beading business founded by four Franco-Métis sisters from Saint-Boniface, this workshop invites you to discover the art of Métis beading. Spread over two evenings, you’ll learn the basic beading techniques while creating your own beaded brooch, step by step. No experience is necessary, just a desire to create! All materials are included in the workshop price. You’ll leave with your own creation as well as the basics to continue beading at home. Participation in both evenings is required to complete the project. Registration is mandatory. The workshop is open to people aged 14 and up.
