Open Beading at The Village Garden Rochester

Picture
Join me for Open Beading at @thevillagegardenrochester! I will be there every Wednesday July 6th - August 31st, 4-7pm. This summer the focus is sunflowers, in solidarity with Ukraine and wishes for Peace, Respect, Equality.

Nine opportunities to learn and explore peyote stitch bead work in Rochester, Minnesota. All materials supplied, no experience needed and no fee to participate. The finished beaded rocks will be photographed together on site and then yours to keep.
​
Beaders worldwide are invited to participate and be part of this beautiful beaded community art installation. Deadline to send beaded rocks to Chris is August 31st. Installations of the gathered beaded rocks will occur over the month of September and documentation shared on The Village Agricultural Cooperative facebook page. Your beaded rock will be returned to you postage paid in early October 2022. Email Chris Allen at tappixie@yahoo.com for more information and for the physical address to mail your finished beaded rock.  ​
