Traditional Metis Beading ***SOLD OUT***
Age: 16yrs and up
Known as ‘The Flower Beadwork People’, the Metis have long been distin- guished for their beaded art, using it to adorn clothing, tools, baby moss- bags, horse saddle pads and dog tuppies. The artwork of Lisa Shepherd, Metis Artisan, was recognized internationally at the 2010 Olympics and now resides at the Gabriel Dumont Institute Museum. Lisa will share the lessons she has gathered from her studies across Canada. Participants will learn the traditional art of Metis Beading, including the oral history, what makes it distinctive, and it’s spiritual connection to the land. Working alongside Lisa, you will design your own traditional beadwork layout and then actualize the beading onto a Melton wool base. The finished beadwork may be framed, used to adorn any item you choose, or used to create your own pair of moccasins (watch for the Moccasin Making class this Spring!). Fee: $180/2

Taanshi, Lori-Anne.
Thank you for visiting my website. You asked me to keep you informed of any classes that I’m teaching out in Abby/Mission. Though I’m not currently offering classes in those communities, I thought you’d like to know that I am offering Metis Jigging for Youth, Metis Jigging for Adults, Beadwork and Moccasin Making in Maple Ridge, though Parks & Leisure Services. Here is the link to the Leisure Guide. You’ll want to take a look at pages 37, 50, 52 and 53 for the classes I’ve mentioned.
I hope to see you soon!
All my relations,
Lisa
