Native American beadwork workshop

The Depot Artspace presents, as part of their collective textile exhibition, A Good yarn, a two hour workshop in Native American beadwork.

Hannah Rudin learnt the art of Native American beadwork in California over 20 years ago and has invited us to share her knowledge in Cheyenne stitch.Participants can expect to leave with one completed earring and the beads and instructions to finish the pair.

In traditional cultures of the Americas and Africa, beads were woven by shamans or medicine men, and used during ritual. They were worn as more than adornments, but as magical talismans of empowerment or status.

Workshop runs from 10am-12pm

15 Oct 2009
