This workshop is beginner-friendly for those who would like to begin beading or working with leather. You will learn how to cut, bead and sew on leather. Create your own keychain! Everyone is welcome and no experience is required.

Ryleigh Todd-Moore (they/them), also known as Littlest Kookum Beading, is an artist from Kinosao Sipi (Norway House Cree Nation) in Northern Manitoba. Their art includes beadwork, painting and sewing. They have a sustainable practice of using upcycled fabrics and materials.
