Indigenous Beadworking
with Patsy Day
Available spots
Service Description
Join Indigenous Educator and artist Patsy Day from the Oneida Turtle Clan for a workshop on Indigenous beadwork and storytelling. Haudenosaunee regard bead working as a gift from the Creator to teach patience and humility. Such a gift should be used and shared. Often beadwork was carried on by women of different generations who talked, as they worked, of their community and its history. In such a setting, these beaded creations took on deep personal meanings. Stories, lovingly interwoven into every beaded flower, petal and stalk, told of what it meant to be Oneida and Haudenosaunee. Participants in the workshop will learn basic beadwork skills and incorporate traditional design elements in their own work.
