Floating Beadwork Workshop with Géorgie Gagné

Beadwork is an art medium that represents resilience and resistance amongst many Indigenous cultures. More traditional forms of beadwork can be intimidating for some as it requires a lot of dexterity and focus. Floating beadwork is a simple way to engage with beads while still leaning into the spiritual and political aspects of this art form. This workshop invites participants to engage in conversations of community building, storytelling, and contemporary Indigenous arts, while collaging on wooden canvas and creating unique strings of beads.
Located at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre’s temporary space in the Rideau Building at 207 Stuart Street, Room 221.

$35/person. Bursaries available via the generosity of the Iva Speers Fund for Art Education.
