Muse & Museums is thrilled to present art activations rooted in community-building, culture, and curiosity. Join us for a beginner-friendly beading workshop led by Toronto-based Indigenous bead artist Katie Longboat. In this hands-on session, participants will explore the rich history of Indigenous beadwork, learn essential tools and techniques, and create a small beaded medallion to take home.
