About this Event
Discover the beauty of beaded medallions in this engaging, hands-on workshop led by artist, Nakia DeMiero. Designed for beginners, this one-day, six-hour class will introduce participants to foundational beading techniques, traditional patterns, and cultural symbolism.
Participants will learn to plan and execute an established medallion design while gaining familiarity with the materials and tools needed to create their own beadwork projects. Along the way, they will explore the rich traditions of bead working throughout Indigenous cultures, learning about symbolism and storytelling through design.
No prior beading experience is required—just a willingness to learn, create, and explore the artistry of beadwork!
