Events › Women’s Beading Circle with April

Have you ever been interested in learning rope style beading? Learn the basics of this stitch to create a custom keychain. Join us for this 3-hour workshop and community gathering!

April enjoys beading and teaching others what she has learned, as they find their unique styles in beading. It is her hope to bring together women who are willing to learn a skill or two in beading while also building relationships with one another through beading. Come visit, laugh, share stories, and build relations through bead work, as we create beautiful pieces together.

Please Note: Registration is required.

Due to the nature of the cultural discussions, these sessions are only open to those who identify as women. If you would like clarification prior to registering, please feel free to email eir@epl.ca.

Open to women identifying adult and teen (+16) library patrons. Some hand-sewing experience is desirable, but mobile dexterity to thread needles and seed beads without assistance is needed. Our time together will start with an optional smudge.

PARTICIPANTS CAN ONLY REGISTER FOR ONE CLASS, APRIL 22 OR MAY 1ST.
