Wed Apr 9, 2025 - Techniques Night
Online Meeting 7pm to 9pm
TBS members will be sent the link via email the week of the presentation.
We are trying something different for Techniques Night this month. We have arranged for a bead along for the group with special guest Katie Longboat. There will be no extra charge for this event but you must provide your own materials (see materials list below).
Please note: This event is for members of TBS and GRBS only.
Join Katie Longboat to learn bead embroidery techniques she uses in her work, to create a beaded brooch. Katie will share her process, inspirations, tips and tricks and preferred materials she likes to use in her work.
Katie is a Cree and Mohawk beadwork artist from SixNations of the Grand River. Katie is inspired to create work that is reflective of her family and background, the natural world, and draws inspiration from both Cree and Mohawk styles of beadwork.

4 colours of size 11 seed beads
Thread and needle of choice
E6000 glue or similar type
