About this program

Participants will learn how to make their own custom medallion beaded by hand. We will discuss colour scheme, design and various beading techniques from the Plains Cree culture. Beading has been an important art form for hundreds of years, with each pattern, bead type and colour having a meaning attached to it. Each participant will have their own wearable unique and custom piece they can take home with them as well as an understanding of what various colours, shapes, and beads represent.
