Brick Stitch Floral Earrings with Niamh Dooley - April 29

Join us for the final two beading circle sessions of the spring! Program leader Niamh Dooley will be teaching how to make lovely small, floral earrings. Niamh is leaving MAWA and moving back to Ontario in May, so this with also be an opportunity to say farewell.

Niamh Dooley is an Anishininew and Irish contemporary artist. She is a band member of St. Theresa Point First Nation (Mitheynigaaming) in Treaty 5 territory of Manitoba (part of the Island Lake communities) but grew up in Treaty 3 territory in Sioux Lookout, Ontario. She and her sister sell their work as Monias Beads.

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). If you find you cannot attend, please cancel with ample lead time so folks on the waiting list can participate.

If finances are a barrier, please speak with Niamh at [email protected].
