On Saturday, June 15from 12:00 - 4:00 pm,
Abbe Educator George Neptune will offer a beading workshop designed
specifically for teens.Native people
across North America are well known for taking an introduced material and incorporating
it into their oldest traditions. Perhaps the most known example is the use of
glass beads; after trading with European visitors, fine lines of brightly
colored glass beads joined designs of bone and shell on the traditional regalia
of many tribes. In this workshop, participants will make their own pair of
beaded feather earrings. The program is free and open to the public, but space
is limited. Please contact George to reserve your space at either 207-288-3519 or george@abbemuseum.org.
The Abbe Museum’s commitment centers Indigenous people in their own histories, stories, and futures, correcting harmful representations of the past. Your support helps make this happen!
