Workshop | Indigenous Beading w/ Vanessa Hyggen

Event Saturday, June 22, 2024
Time 2:00pm - 5:00pm

In this masters workshop, we will create a beautiful beaded hair tie using the flat stitch two-needle method. You will learn the fundamentals of bead embroidery, a versatile method for incorporating beads into projects. By the end of the workshop you’ll leave with a beaded hair tie that reflects your unique style and the skills to apply to future beading projects.

Vanessa is a Canadian artist of Woodlands Cree and Norwegian ancestry. She is a member of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band and her community is nemepith sipihk (Sucker River). Vanessa is interested in utilizing memory, tradition and themes of nature in her work. Land conservation and land sovereignty are at the heart of her work, with her painting and beadwork focusing on the richness of the land, and in turn, the threats to the land.
