Had so much fun over the last three weeks with the Beading Basics workshops ❣️

Sold out classes learned different beading techniques (brick stitch, fringe, and pe**te), and we great discussions over tea ☕️ around why we support Indigenous businesses, Appropriation vs. Appreciation, and the harms of the idea of pan-Indigeneity (or that all Indigenous Nations/people are the same).

Let me know if we should runs these again! ⬇️
