Give yourself the space to focus, create and decompress with this beading adventure class with Brittany Jones. Brittany will give you the instruction to approach your project with confidence and she will guide you through to a successful end. You choose your project; earring, pin, barrette, tie pin etc and use our wide range of coloured seed beads, semi-precious stones and porcupine quills to make it a reality. We'll be using porcupine quills harvested and dyed by Brittany and Miyuki Delica beads for this project. DATES & TIMES SUN FEB 23rd 10:00am to 4:00pm YOUR TUTOR Brittany Jones. Brittany Jones is Anishinaabe from Neyaashiinigmiing First Nation. She is a mother of two, a lover of nature, and a craftsperson. She works with beads, leather, porcupine quills, birch bark, caribou hair, and fabric to create jewellery, moccasins, mittens, medallions, and framed art. She made her first pair of beaded earrings when she was ten years old, under her mother's instruction. It wasn't until she made a pair of beaded vamps for the Walking With Our Sisters project ten years ago that she really developed a passion for beading. After a few years of honing her craft, she began facilitating workshops in her community and surrounding area. Brittany believes that if you have traditional knowledge that was passed on to you, you have an obligation to teach and share that knowledge with others.
