Ring in the new year with the Manitoba Museum’s first ever Bead-A-Thon, hosted by renowned Métis beadwork artist Jennine Krauchi and the Manitoba Museum’s Head of Indigenous Programming & Engagement, Tashina Houle-Schlup.
Whether you’re an expert beader, a keen learner, or have never held a needle, this exciting fundraising event welcomes all to share in the joy of beadwork.
Join us from 10 am to 3 pm on Sunday, January 5 in Alloway Hall for a day of mini ‘learn to stitch’ tutorials, pop-up visits from our stunning historical beadwork collection, and most importantly, time with community to share, learn, and bead. Everyone is invited to showcase their work at our “Artist Open Mic” and we encourage you to share your skills and meet new people! A number of experienced beaders are joining us as "Beading Buddies", and in your registration, beginner beaders can request to be seated with one of these experienced beaders for guidance.
We’re also excited to have food vendors such as Indigenous, woman-owned businesses Sharecuterie and Anishinaa-Bakes joining us. Attendees can purchase food from the vendors throughout the day, and/or are welcome to bring their own lunches and snacks.
