Public: $80.00 +HST
Members: $65.00 +HST
Please join us for a unique workshop held within the artists exhibition Loup Garou & Mocassins. Surrounded by Natalie’s paintings and moccushions for inspiration, participants will learn about the history of beading during the fur trade and its importance in Canada’s artistic legacy. The hands-on section follows, learning three different traditional beading techniques. Participants will walk away with a finished piece – or have at least enough knowledge to complete their beaded piece at home.
All materials are included.
Suitable for adults and youth 12+ accompanied by an adult.
Registration is open until March 21, 2025. Please note that OMAH’s programs operate on a cost-recovery basis, and sessions may be canceled if minimum registration numbers are not met.
