Native American
Beadwork, Design & Leatherwork
Among the indigenous nations of North America,
decorations of clothing
and other tools were abundant. Among the
decorations is beadwork. It
can turn any simple buckskin bag or clothing
into a beautiful work of art.
Students will develop their skills in Native
American Indian bead work and
design, using traditional and contemporary
material. In the advanced class,
students will further their proficiency in
developing their own designs, and
different styles of beading. This course is
also for those who would like to
work on regalia for ceremonial
purposes.
