Louis Riel Week: Beading workshop – Feb. 14

February 7, 2023

Beadwork is more than just decoration!

It’s a deeply rooted Indigenous art form that tells stories, preserves culture, and connects generations. Join us in the Indigenous Support Centre for a hands-on Beading Workshop led by Jennine Krauchi, a celebrated Métis beadwork artist known around the world for her stunning, traditional floral designs.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced beader, this is a rare opportunity to learn from a master and explore the rich history and meaning behind this beautiful art form. All materials provided – everyone is welcome!

  • F209, Notre Dame Campus
