| Indigenous Beadworking | I am so excited to share my love of beading with middle-years learners! fell in love with beading and found myself learning how to do other stitches and projects which allowed me to improve my skills. There was something so special about working alongside each other in a small group, starting the session in a good way with a smudge, listening to the teachings, and working separately but together on our projects. Experiences like this create a sense of community that is unlike any other. Facilitator: Shandra Ready | Leila North Community School | Register |
