The Basics of Beading with Marg Boyle (EN)

Marg learned beading on animal hide from Yvonne Meawasige in 2004. Since then, she has taught over a hundred people beading on deer and moose hide. This course will be an introduction to basic beading on pellon and hide though simple projects.  Beading kits  can be purchased at Atelier Native Immigrant/ The Bead Man. Students will learn basic stitches and methods to improve their hand beading while creating small projects. Kits can be purchased starting Feb. 10th at the Atelier.
