Breanna Little will teach the practice of Huichol beaded medallions. The Huichol people are from central Mexico and are known for their psychedelic coloured folk art. Traditionally, they used materials such as clay, stone and vegetable dyes. Even though they now use materials brought by the Europeans, like beads and chemical dyes, they continue to use traditional motifs and designs within their work.
Free admission, everyone welcome! No need to register, just come!
