The Métis were known as the Flower Beadwork People. Learn about this Manitoba tradition and Métis techniques from master beader Jennine Krauchi, who will teach Métis-style two-needle beadwork. Each participant will work with a beautiful, original design by Krauchi, and take away a finished piece that can be made into a pouch, a broach or wall decor.
The Cross-Cultural Craft Program is supported by the Ethnocultural Community Support Program and the Aboriginal Cultural Initiatives Program at the Province of Manitoba, Westwood Collegiate Youth and Philanthropy (The Winnipeg Foundation) and the Assiniboine Credit Union.
Everyone welcome! Free, no need to register just come.
