Cross-Cultural Beading Group

MAWA's Cross-Cultural Beading Group meets Mondays, every second week, from 7-9 pm at MAWA. No need to register, just come! Free!

This fall MAWA launched a cross-cultural beading group at which participants informally work on their own projects together. The beading group meets every two weeks, October - February. Occasionally, during the course of this program, we invite a “guest beader” to share her specific traditions. For example, a Kenyan beader might be on hand at one session, an Anishinaabe beader at another and a Sudanese beader at another, etc. But they are not be structured workshops. Everyone is invited to share their skills and to work independently. Some free materials are provided (beads, thread, cloth and leather) or you can bring your own. And if you’re the type of person who needs a beading goal, here’s a heads up … Gloria Beckman will be back this winter, teaching a day-long gauntlet-making workshop. Just in time to help you create something that will warm those cold fingers! So come to the beading groups to work on your beading in preparation for this workshop. Watch the website and your “Coming up at MAWA” emails for workshop details. Caption: MAWA beaders hard at work, January 2014
