Berry Design Earrings with Sophie Moquin: Jan 29

Learn more about Creative Manitoba's space here.

Participants can choose their own colours for the beads, as well as the length of the pendant. Learn how to complete pieces with edging.

MAWA has decided to start charging a small materials fee for these workshops. Unfortunately, when programs are free, some people sign up but do not show up. This wastes materials and staff time preparing kits that are never used, unnecessarily increasing program costs. Worst of all, folks who want to participate are unable, because the session is fully booked. Because of this, MAWA needs to start charging for this program. If finances are a barrier, please contact Niamh at [email protected].

Sophie Moquin is Red River Métis and French. She learned to bead from the great Jennine Krauchi and has been beading for over a decade. Her style combines traditional floral patterns with contemporary twists, always inspired by nature.

Everyone is invited to learn and/or work independently in a welcoming atmosphere. No experience necessary. Novice and experienced beaders of all cultures, ages and genders are welcome.

Sessions feature a guest beader, who will share their history with beading and their techniques. A materials kit (incl. beads, thread, cloth and leather) will be available.

Each instructor will offer their workshop twice, to create opportunity for more participants (do not enroll in both sessions of the same workshop). Register above and if you find you cannot attend, please cancel with ample lead time so folks on the waiting list can participate.
