All supplies needed to complete the project will be provided.
Bio: My name is Lena-may my ancestral name is Tsaxaxult. I have one daughter, Tesaxlewet Mabel Leona Alana. We come from the Squamish Nation and are both part of the Squamish Ocean Canoe family. I taught myself how to bead roughly 16 years ago and have made earrings and necklaces for my daughter. I enjoy working on earrings and necklaces in the style I learned on my own, what some people call Lazy stitch or flat stitch. I can't wait to meet new people and to teach what I love.
This event is intended for adults and will require registration.
