Join us for a workshop with beadwork artist Katherine Santos, a member of the Choctaw-Apache Tribe and Fellow for Indigenous Art at Harvard’s Fine Arts Library. We will explore beadwork as adornment, recordkeeping, storytelling, and artistry for many Indigenous nations of Turtle Island. Participants will learn how beading has been practiced on this land for millennia and how it has evolved as contemporary craft. We will create our own piece of beadwork using a bead loom.
All materials will be provided.
The hands-on session will take place in the Materials Lab on the Lower Level.
$15 workshop fee. Registration is required and space is limited; registration will open on this form, beginning Saturday, October 4, 2025. Workshop fee must be paid to confirm registration. Minimum age of 14; no previous experience required.
