Every Stitch Tells a Story: Indigenous Beading Workshop

Create one-of-a-kind earrings with Indigenous artist Emerald YellowRobe Frommelt while learning flat stitch techniques and the cultural narratives they carry.
You’ll learn flat stitch techniques, material tips, and ways to blend traditional and modern design. Along the way, Emerald will share traditional knowledge, cultural context, and personal insights—exploring beadwork as both an art form and a form of storytelling. A core part of the workshop will be reflecting on cultural identity and the importance of appreciation versus appropriation, offering a respectful space for dialogue and understanding.
