Indigenous Arts Series: Beaded Corn Keychains with Tsiokeriio

Join us on Saturday, September 17 from 1–3PM for a Beaded Corn workshop with Tsiokeriio!

To give thanks for the continuity of life, we celebrate the abundance of the harvests in the late summer / early fall. To honour that life cycle and create a reminder for ourselves to always give thanks, we will be creating beaded corn keychains.

During the workshop, Tsiokeriio will share stories and teachings round planting, growing, and harvesting from the Kanyenkehà:ka (Mohawk People) as she guides participants through the process of creating their own beaded corn keychains. The techniques taught in this class can also be used to create pendants and earrings.
