This two-part workshop meets January 30 and February 6, 1:00-2:30 PM
Facilitated by Muscogee Creek artist Kimberly Robertson, participants in this workshop will learn traditional American Indian beadwork techniques to embellish a Theodore Payne Foundation California poppy patch. Robertson will lead the group in a discussion of the relationship between Native plants and land acknowledgement as well as the potential for traditional arts to remember, honor, and heal Indigenous communities.

This class will be held online via Zoom. A Zoom account is not required to attend. Login instructions will be included in the registration confirmation, and students will receive reminder emails starting two days before the class.
